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 to your preferred position 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.

For example, if you like the payoff pair (4, 16) (currently on rank 6) the most, you should move it to rank 1 (see screenshot below).

Once you have rearranged the list according to your preference, you will be asked to confirm that this list reflects how you rank the 16 payoff pairs.

Before you are asked to decide about your ranking of the different pairs, you will be asked some questions to help with your understanding of the experiment. At the end of the experiment, there will be a short general demographics questionnaire.

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 to your desired position (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.
