Overview of experimental parameters.

Dictator Stage I Dictator Stage II
Show-up fee ECU for decision ECU for decision
T1 NO DEFAULT 100 100 200
T2 WEAK DEFAULT 100 100 200
T3 STRONG DEFAULT 100 100 200
C1 CONTROL INCOME 100+X^ 200
C2 CONTROL PASSIVE GIVING 100+X^ Fixed: (100-X^) 200

Participants in CONTROL INCOME and CONTROL PASSIVE GIVING received a lump-sum payment X^ matching the distribution of the donated amounts in Dictator Stage I in the treatment conditions (see Appendix B in Supplementary Material for details on the matching procedure). In Dictator Stage II, each participant decided on the allocation of 200 ECU, however, only one decision within each participant pair was implemented. 100 ECU ≡ CHF 10.
