Sequential Contests experiment replication materials
Description
This pack of replication materials contains (i) Stata data file Compiled_Data.dta; (ii) Stata do file data_analysis.do; (iii) Mathematica notebook Calculations.nb containing computations for Section 4.2.2 of the paper; (iv) zTree programs Sequential_3.ztt, Sequential_1_2.ztt, Sequential_2_1.ztt and Sequential_1_1_1.ztt corresponding to the 4 treatments in the experiment; (v) Experimental instructions for treatment (1,1,1); (vi) a readme.txt file with further instructions. The data was collected in the XSFS Lab at Florida State University in 2018-2019. A detailed description of the experiment is available in our article "Contests with sequential moves: An experimental study" forthcoming in the Journal of the Economic Science Association.
