In this experiment, you will be randomly placed in groups of three. The task of this experiment is for the three of you to decide on how to split €{{ Constants.start_money }}.
Each player in the group will be identified by a color - Orange, Blue and Yellow. Please pay close attention to the identity of each player.
{% if player.treatment > 0 %}After you finish with the instructions, we will assign each group to a separate break-out room. You might have to wait a few minutes until the experimenter assigns you to the break-out room. The experimenter will ask all of you to state their color to ensure that everyone is aware of the identifying color. You will have to use your microphone but no camera for this step. After everyone confirmed their color, the experimenter will allow you to proceed to the negotiation.
{% endif %}You will see a screen on the computer where you can submit proposals on how to split the €{{ Constants.start_money }} among the three of you (only integers numbers are allowed). You can also observe the proposals of the other two participants on-screen. Negotiation will last for 4 minutes. At any time during these 4 minutes, you can make a new proposal on how to split the money and so can the other two participants. You can only have one standing proposal. The computer will automatically delete an old proposal once you submit a new one.
{% if player.treatment == 2 %}At the bottom of the negotiation page, you will find chat windows. You can use those to exchange messages with the other players. Please note that you will see three chats. In the first, you can send messages to both other members in the group. The other two can be used to send a message only to one other player of the group.
{% endif %}When four minutes have passed two scenarios may occur: (1) Agreement or (2) Disagreement.
Total earnings: your total earnings consist of your share from the negotiations plus your participation fee of €{{ Constants.participation_fee }}.
