Experimental Design (Public) We consider 1 treatment without a leader and 5 treatments with a first-mover. In all treatments, the safe payoff is $4 for everyone. In all treatments, the two other group members have a LowPayoff of $2.75 and a HighPayoff of $4.75. The treatments vary in the incentives of the leader.

In all treatments, the two other group members have a LowPayoff of $2.75 and a HighPayoff of $4.75. The treatments vary in the incentives of the leader. Change: After collecting these treatments, we decided to add one more treatment to obtain a more complete picture of the effect of leader risk. Specifically, we look also at the case when the leader earns no bonus but also has no risk.

Planned Number of Observations 1200 individuals 1400 individuals
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms 6 Treatments with about 100 subjects in the US. 6 Treatments with about 100 subjects in the Nordic Countries, or as much as possible given limited availability. Update: We have collected about half of the observations for the Nordic countries. Due to limited liquidity, we will now also include people from the Netherlands and France. The rationale is that these countries are geographically near the Nordic countries (EU), have Gini coefficients similar to the Nordic countries, and are sufficiently large so we are able to collect the remaining observations. 7 Treatments with about 100 subjects in the US. 7 Treatments with about 100 subjects in the Nordic Countries, or as much as possible given limited availability.
