Notes: Sample includes allocations made to others by participants who were employed or in full-time education in year 1; there are six observations per participant, three pertaining to the year 1 DJ game, and three pertaining to the year 2 DJ game; participant-year fixed effects, a_it, included in all models; j's initial endowment (y_j) = j's initial endowment expressed as a proportion of the 44 tokens in the game; Earned (E) = 1 if i made allocations under the earned treatment, = 0 if i made allocations under the random treatment; Became Unemployed (U) = 1 if i became unemployed between year 1 and year 2; = 0 if i remained employed or in full-time education; Y2 = 1 if allocation made in year 2; = 0 if allocation made in year 1; “Health” ranges from 0 (severe health problems and psychological distress) to 36 (good health); “Internal LoC” ranges from 0 (fully believing your future depends upon luck or fate) to 13 (fully believing you are responsible for your own success or failure); “Performance,” number of pots processed in the real-effort task by i minus mean number of pots processed in real-effort task undertaken by i (filling or emptying) divide by SD in pots processed in that task; Mann–Whitney rank sum and t tests indicate that controls do not vary across subsamples, performance increased between years; SEs clustered at the session level; **significant at 1%; *significant at 5%.
