{% blocktrans trimmed with n=num_choices %} Before the experiment starts, all participants will be randomly divided into two groups of equal size, referred to as Group A and Group B. Each member of Group A will be asked to make a series of {{ n }} decisions that affect not only his/her own earnings but also the earnings of a member of Group B. The members of Group B do not have a decision to make in this experiment. Their earnings will depend on the decisions of Group A members only. {% endblocktrans %}

{% blocktrans trimmed %} After randomly assigning roles (Group A or Group B) to participants, each member of Group A is anonymously paired with a member of Group B. That is, each member of Group A is matched with exactly one member of Group B and vice versa. You will never learn the identity of the member of the other group you are paired with. In the same way, the member of the other group you are paired with will not learn your identity. In the following we call the member of the other group you are matched with the other person. {% endblocktrans %}

{% blocktrans trimmed with n=num_choices %} If you become a member of Group A you will be asked to make {{ n }} decisions. In each of the {{ n }} decision problems you are asked to decide between two alternatives which are referred to as "Left" and "Right". Each alternative implies earnings for you and the other person. The {{ n }} decision problems will be presented as rows in a table. {% endblocktrans %}

{% blocktrans trimmed %} At the end of the experiment (after the player in Group A has made the {{ n }} choices in private), one of the {{ n }} decision problems will be randomly selected as the payoff-relevant choice. The actual earnings and those of the other person correspond exactly to the payoffs in the alternative ("Left" or "Right") you have chosen in that specific decision problem. {% endblocktrans %}
