You are now taking part in a second experiment. The money you earn in this experiment will be added to what you earned in the first one. As before, we will not speak of Pounds during the experiment, but rather of points. At the end, the number of points you have earned will be converted to Pounds at the following rate:

1 point=£0.02


As in the previous experiment you are in a group composed by 4 people. However, the composition of the group is entirely new. None of the participants who were in your group in the first experiment will be in your group in this experiment.

{% if player.treatment == "equalpro" %}


The decision situation is the same as the one described on the first instruction sheet of the previous experiment. Each member of the group has to decide about the usage of the 20 tokens. You can put these 20 tokens into your private account or you can put them fully or partially into a project. Each token you do not put into the project is automatically placed into your private account. Your income will be determined in the same way as before.


Your Total Income = Income from your private account + Income from the project =20 – your contribution to the project + 0.4 × sum of all contributions to the project


1. First you have to decide on your contribution to the project, that is, you have to decide how many of the 20 tokens you want to contribute to the project, and how many tokens you want to put into your private account. Each other member of your group has to make the corresponding decision. This is the only contribution decision that you or they make in this experiment. There is no contribution table.


2. Afterwards you have to estimate the average contribution to the project (rounded to next integer) of the other three group members. You will be paid for the accuracy of your estimate:


If your estimate is exactly right (that is, if your estimate is exactly the same as the actual average contribution of the other group members), you will get 3 points in addition to your other income from the experiment.


If your estimate deviates by one token from the correct result, you will get 2 additional points.


A deviation by 2 tokens still earns you 1 additional point.


If your estimate deviates by 3 or more tokens from the correct result, you will not get any additional points.

{% elif player.treatment == "equalmain" %}


The decision situation is the same as the one described on the first instruction sheet of the previous experiment. In each group there are 80 tokens in a project. You can withdraw up to 20 tokens from the project or you can leave them fully or partially in the project. Each token you withdraw from the project is automatically placed into your private account. Your income will be determined in the same way as before.


Your Total Income = Income from your private account + Income from the project = Tokens withdrawn from the project by you + 0.4 × (80-sum of all tokens withdrawn from the project)


1. First you have to decide on your withdrawal from the project, that is, you have to decide how many of the 80 tokens you want to withdraw from the project and put into your private account. Each other member of your group has to make the corresponding decision. This is the only withdrawal decision that you or they make in this experiment. There is no withdrawal table.


2. Afterwards you have to estimate the average withdrawal from the project (rounded to next integer) of the other three group members. You will be paid for the accuracy of your estimate:


If your estimate is exactly right (that is, if your estimate is exactly the same as the actual average withdrawal of the other group members), you will get 3 points in addition to your other income from the experiment.


If your estimate deviates by one token from the correct result, you will get 2 additional points.


A deviation by 2 tokens still earns you 1 additional point.


If your estimate deviates by 3 or more tokens from the correct result, you will not get any additional points.

{% elif player.treatment == "unequalpro" and player.your_type == "low" %}


You have 10 tokens at your disposal.


The decision situation is the same as the one described on the first instruction sheet of the previous experiment. Each member of the group has to decide about the usage of their tokens. You can put these 10 tokens into your private account or you can put them fully or partially into a project. Each token you do not put into the project is automatically placed into your private account. Your income will be determined in the same way as before.


Your Total Income = Income from your private account + Income from the project = 10 – your contribution to the project + 0.4 × sum of all contributions to the project


1. First you have to decide on your contribution to the project, that is, you have to decide how many of the 10 tokens you want to contribute to the project, and how many tokens you want to put into your private account. Each other member of your group has to make the corresponding decision. This is the only contribution decision that you or they make in this experiment. There is no contribution table.

If your estimate deviates by one token from the correct result, you will get 2 additional points.


A deviation by 2 tokens still earns you 1 additional point.


If your estimate deviates by 3 or more tokens from the correct result, you will not get any additional points.

{% elif player.treatment == "unequalpro" and player.your_type == "high" %}


You have 30 tokens at your disposal.


The decision situation is the same as the one described on the first instruction sheet of the previous experiment. Each member of the group has to decide about the usage of their tokens. You can put these 30 tokens into your private account or you can put them fully or partially into a project. Each token you do not put into the project is automatically placed into your private account. Your income will be determined in the same way as before.


Your Total Income = Income from your private account + Income from the project = 30 – your contribution to the project + 0.4 × sum of all contributions to the project


1. First you have to decide on your contribution to the project, that is, you have to decide how many of the 30 tokens you want to contribute to the project, and how many tokens you want to put into your private account.

You can withdraw up to 10 tokens.

You can withdraw up to 10 tokens from the project or you can leave them fully or partially in the project. Each token you withdraw from the project is automatically placed into your private account.
