The students who participate will be paid for their participation. The amount paid depends on the experiment run, the decisions made by the subject, and the decisions made by the other subjects in the experiment. An earnings rate between $18 and $28 for 1 1/2 hours of participation is common, although students earn much more in many experiments.
Your participation in the experiment and any information about your earnings will be kept strictly confidential and your participation is voluntary. All experiments take place in the computer lab of the Economics Department, which is located at Hall on the 4th floor in room 4104.
