| 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+ | – | 200 |
| C2 CONTROL PASSIVE GIVING | 100+ | Fixed: (100-) | 200 |
Participants in CONTROL INCOME and CONTROL PASSIVE GIVING received a lump-sum payment 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.
