You have been randomly assigned to a group of {{ Constants.players_per_group }} people – but will only conduct this experiment by yourself. You will not be made aware of the identity of the others in your group (or any other group) at any time – neither will anyone else be made aware of your identity. During the experiment you will also not be able to talk or chat to the others, and none of the others will have such an opportunity. The group has one manager who is randomly chosen. You happen not to be the manager.

Everyone in the group has been given {{ Constants.endowment }} tokens as an endowment in the first round. Everyone receives this endowment for each round of the experiment. In the experiment you can freely decide how much of this amount to keep for yourself and how much to contribute to the group account. Everyone in the group will make the same choice, and is allowed to contribute any amount between 0 and 100 tokens. The sum of all contributions will be doubled by the experimenter and the resulting total amount in the group account will then be equally divided among the four persons in the group, i.e. everyone in the group receives 25% of the group account. The share that you receive from the pool will then be added to the amount that you decided to keep for yourself. Note that due to rounding errors the earning numbers may go few tokens up or down; also note that the pool is always zero after everyone’s shares have been distributed.

You will engage in this experiment over 10 rounds. In every round you and the other group members will receive 100 token. All members of the group will make the same decision in every round, i.e. you decide how much you will keep for yourself and how much you will contribute to the pool. In each round the contributions will be doubled before the shares are paid out to the group member.

Starting in round 2, you and the others will see the other group members’ and your own contribution for all previous rounds. Based on this information, only the manager can punish or reward all group members in your group for the upcoming round. When the manager choose the punishment option, 10 tokens will be subtracted from that person’s income, and by choosing the reward option, 10 tokens will be added to that person’s earnings for the upcoming round.
