Example

The minimum effort in the group determines the payoff of all the group members.

Lets say you chose 4 as your level of effort and the other three group members chose 3, 5, and 7. The lowest effort level chosen (3) is the minimum effort choice in the group. Looking at the table below, your own choice is 4 and the minimum effort choice is 3, which would give you a payoff of 80 points.

Players:

Level of effort Payoff
4 effort units 80 points
3 effort units 90 points
5 effort units 70 points
7 effort units 50 points

(You are highlighted in yellow, and the minimum effort is highlighted in red)

If you chose 3 and the minimum effort was also 3, you would have received a payoff of 90 points.

Players:

Level of effort Payoff
3 effort units 90 points
3 effort units 90 points
5 effort units 70 points
7 effort units 50 points

(You chose the minimum effort, so you are highlighted in orange. Other players who chose the minimum effort are highlighted in red)

If you were to choose 1 and everyone else chose 7, you will receive 70 points and everyone else will receive 10 points.

Players:

Level of effort Payoff
1 effort units 70 points
7 effort units 10 points
7 effort units 10 points
7 effort units 10 points

(You chose the minimum effort, so you are highlighted in orange.)

Potential payoffs are highest when everyone allocates higher levels of effort. For instance, if everyone chooses 7, each player makes 130 points.

Players:

Level of effort Payoff
7 effort units 130 points
7 effort units 130 points
7 effort units 130 points
7 effort units 130 points

(You chose the minimum effort, so you are highlighted in orange. Other players who chose the minimum effort are highlighted in red)
