How the data were acquired Data was acquired through lab-in-field experiments in Denmark, Spain, and Ghana. Two experiments were conducted: (1) a small effort task and (2) a dictator game. Copies of the consent form, experiment instructions, and exit questionnaire (in English) are available as supplementary materials of the original article [1]. Danish and Spanish translations are available upon request.
Experiments in all three countries were run by hand. Each country had an instructor, who interacted with the participants, and an experimenter, who paid the participants and communicated with the experimenters in the other two countries. All instructors and experimenters were trained at the same time in Denmark.
Data format Raw
