In this stage of the experiment you will be asked to choose between two different income distributions where money is divided between 10 randomly drawn individuals.

In particular, we will explicitly present to you a pair of income distributions, A and B, in a pie chart. Each segment of the pie chart represents one individual. The first number in each segment corresponds to the income that this individual would receive under program A. Respectively, the second number in each segment corresponds to the income that the same individual would receive under program B.

Your task is to choose either program A or program B, depending on which of the programs you would prefer to distribute money across other individuals (not involving yourself).

Here is an example:

Consider the following economic programs A and B depicted in the pie chart below. The first number in each segment corresponds to the income that this individual would receive under program A. Respectively, the second number in each segment corresponds to the income that the same individual would receive under program B.

Pie Charts


You will then have two options to chose from.

The first option is "I want program A to be implemented." You should chose this option, if you think that distribution A is preferable out of the two distributions presented to you.

The second option is "I want program B to be implemented." You should chose this option, if you think that distribution B is preferable out of the two distributions presented to you.

Your distribution choices are consequential. Specifically, we will implement an income distribution for a group of 10 randomly drawn individuals based on your choices.

This is how it works:

At the end of the experiment, a random mechanism will determine which of your decisions is chosen for implementation. Each of the pairs that will be presented to you has an equal chance to be chosen.

If you chose program A in the randomly drawn pair of income distributions, then program A from this pair will be implemented.

If you chose program B in the randomly drawn pair of income distributions, then program B from this pair will be implemented.
