(You will not have any benefit once you find job)

Choose your preferred wage for your next job from 1 to 10.

Suppose you have just lost your job, and now you are looking for a new job.

You need to decide your plans of looking for new jobs.

  1. Your preferred wage for new job, the minimum wage you would like to accept.
  2. How much effort you would put in looking for jobs, the number of jobs you are looking for.

Before you begin looking for new jobs, we need to notify you that life is not infinite even in an experiment.

  1. You only have 20 rounds to look for new jobs in one experimental trial.
  2. Once you fail in current round, you could look for jobs in the next round.
  3. Once you find the job, the job search will end.
    1. Your earnings from new job equals to the wage rate multiples the rest of rounds (including the current round).

Let us think about what you have when looking for jobs:

  1. You have some money in your account.
  2. You have Unemployment Insurance benefit for a period of time.
    1. The amount of benefit varies (0 point, 5 points, 10 points).
    2. The duration of benefit varies (0 round, 10 rounds, 15 rounds, 20 rounds).
    3. However, you won’t have UI benefit anymore if you find a new job.

Let us think about what those companies have for you.

  1. All companies would give candidates 20% chance of getting job offer for each job they are applying for.
  2. Once you get your job offers, they would give you equally chance of wage rates from 1 point to 10 points for each job offer.
  3. You will get the job offer with the highest wage rate only if it is greater than or equal to your preferred wage.

Finally, your earned points will be converted into U.S. dollars (20 points = 1 dollar).
