Evaluation of Payoff Pairs


This experiment consists of one task, which is identical for all participants. You will be shown a list of sixteen payoff pairs similarly to the screen below (The list on the screen just serves as an example, the values of the actual pairs will be different).

Each of these pairs consists of two numbers (x, y). The first number x corresponds to the number of ECUs you would receive and the second number y corresponds to the number of ECUs another participant would receive. Your task is to rank all these payoff pairs according to how much you like them. That is, you indicate which of these combinations you like best, which one second best, and so on.

The payoff pairs will initially be ordered randomly. You can move individual pairs from the left box to your preferred position in the right box by drag-and-drop. The pair you place on the top corresponds to your most preferred one, the pair you place second corresponds to your second best option and so on until at the bottom you will place your least preferred pair from the options.

Once you have dragged all pairs to the right box (labelled 'Drop'), a confirmation button will appear on the screen with which you may confirm your ranking. The video below illustrates the procedure. Please change to full screen mode when watching the video.


Calculation of final Payoff


Your final payoff consists of a payoff value (x) from your own decision and a payoff value (y) from the decision of another participant.

To determine those two values, two of the sixteen payoff pairs will be chosen randomly and the one you ranked better will be selected for payment (this corresponds to the one with the lower rank number). From this pair, you will receive the first value for yourself, and the second value will be paid to another participant. In addition, you will receive a payoff value from the decision of another participant (which will determined exactly as the payoff from your own decision is determined). Please notice that the participant who receives your second value and the participant from whom you receive the second value are different participants.

This procedure guarantees that it is optimal for you to submit your true ranking of payoff combinations.

Your Ranking


Please rank order the following 16 payment pairs by moving the pairs from the left box to your desired position in the right box (lower ranks correspond to better positions: rank 1 = best rank, rank 16 = worst rank).

If a pair is selected for payment, the first value of the pair corresponds to the payoff you will receive and the second value is paid out to another participant.

After all pairs are moved from the left box to the right box, a confirm button appears on the screen.
