Summary:

  • The experiment consists of two stages. You will participate in groups of four. You will never be informed of the identity of your group members.
  • Stage 1 is the leadership selection stage. The computer will randomly select one participant to be the leader. However, you can indicate it if you have a desire to take the leader position. Then, the computer will randomly select a leader amongst those participants who express a desire to take the leader position. In case no group member expresses this desire, the computer will randomly pick one of the four group members to be the leader.
  • In Stage 2, the group members will work on a counting tables task. Each group member will earn a fixed amount of $10 as long as s/he finishes the 10 tables correctly, and zero otherwise.
  • After this, each participant can continue to work on up to 20 additional tables.
  • Any earnings from the additional tables completed by the group will be donated to a charity randomly determined by the computer. The additional tables will not affect the payments received by the group members.
  • The leader's role is to choose between two lotteries, the outcome of which will determine the payoff for each correctly completed additional table.
  • For each correctly completed additional table, Lottery 1 yields a payoff of either $0.05 or $0.45 and Lottery 2 yields a payoff of either $0.20 or $0.30.
  • The leader’s choice and the outcome of the chosen lottery will determine how much money the charity receives from each correctly completed table by the group.
