Coordination Problems Triggered by Sunspots in the Laboratory - The Data
Description
This is the (raw) data of an economic experiment. The experiment tries to answer the question if a sunspot variable can lead to coordination problems in a three player stag hunt game. The experiment was computer-based and took place in the "Essen Laboratory for experimental Economics" at the University of Duisburg-Essen in December 2010 and June 2011. We use the software zTree to program the experiment. A total of 6 sessions with 87 participants are conducted. The participants of the experiment form groups of three. The groups play a repeated stag hunt game over 40 periods. The groups are randomly matched and stay together over all 40 periods. The file "sunspotsS.RData" is a ready R data frame. You will find all relevant data in that data frame. The raw data is also available. You can find the raw zTree output in the "rawdata" folder. You can find the zTree code in the "zTree treatments" folder. You can find the instructions of the experiment in the "Instructions" folder. The instructions are available in original, German language and in English. The variables of the "sunspotS.RData" are explained in the "explanation.pdf" file.
