Instructions

In this experiment, you will play for some number of rounds, and be asked to make a decision in each round. After each round, there is a 10% chance that the experiment will end, and otherwise you will make the same decision in the next round. This decision concerns the distribution of units over two activities: activity X and activity Y.

Activity X leads to a payoff for yourself only. Activity Y leads to a payoff not only for yourself but also for other participants. The other participants have to make similar decisions: activity X leads to a payoff for themselves only. Activity Y leads to a payoff not only for themselves but also for everyone else.

After each period, you will be informed of the past decisions of some of the other participants. Once a participant’s decision is shown to you, that participant’s past decisions will continue to be shown in remaining rounds as well. After each of the first three rounds, you will be shown the past decisions of one other participant. After the next six rounds, if you reach them, you will be shown the past decisions of an additional two participants. After any remaining rounds, you will see every participant’s past decisions.

Your payoff from activity X depends on the number of units that you spend on this activity. The column value shows the payoff in points of each marker that you spend on activity X. As you see, every extra unit pays you less.
