One-responder data sets

Contain the following variables (space delimited):

session period proposer responder share caccept time_p time_r1

'session' denotes the session number. A session, or group, consists of six people, three proposers and three responders. Each treatment had 3-5 sessions.

'period' denotes the bargaining repetition. Each group had 25 repetitions, where proposer-responder matching was reshuffled each repetition.

'propposer' and 'responder' identify the proposer and responder. Proposers have numbers from {1,3,5} and responders from {2, 4, 6}.

'share' is the proposed, or accepted, responder share of the 25 token-pie. Note that share will always be 0 when 'caccept' (described below) takes on the value 3.

'caccept' can take on one of four values: 0 denotes no response by the responder; 1 denotes acceptance by the responder; 2 denotes rejection by the responder; 3 denotes exit by the proposer.

time_p is the elapsed time in seconds by the proposer's action (offer or exit).

time_r1 is the elapsed time in seconds by the responder's action (acceptance or rejection). This value will be a missing value if caccept is 0 (responder did not respond) or caccept is 3 (proposer ended the bargaining).


Two-responder data sets

Contain the following variables (space delimited):

session period proposer responder share caccept time_p time_r1 time_r2

Differences from the one-responder data sets:

1. Record lines contain one additional variable to the one-responder data sets, 'time_r2.' This variable denotes the time elapsed by the second responder's action corresponding to the particular record line. When time_r2 contains a value, time_r1 will not, and vice versa.

2. Groups are of size 9 as opposed to 6 in the one-responder case.

3. Responders and proposers have different ID numbers, to be specified below.


Each record line contains the following variables (space delimited):

session period proposer responder ctype share caccept time_p time_r1 time_r2 diff

'session' denotes the session number. A session, or group, consists of six people, three proposers and three responders. Each treatment had 3-5 sessions.

'period' denotes the bargaining repetition. Each group had 25 repetitions, where proposer-responder matching was reshuffled each repetition.

'propposer' and 'responder' identify the proposer and responder. Proposers have ID numbers from {1, 4, 7}, first responders from {2, 5, 8}, and second responders from {3, 6, 9}.

'share' is the proposed, or accepted, responder share of the 25 token-pie. Note that share will always be 0 when 'caccept' (described below) takes on the value 3.

'caccept' can take on one of four values: 0 denotes no response by the responder; 1 denotes acceptance by the responder; 2 denotes rejection by the responder; 3 denotes exit by the proposer.

time_p is the elapsed time in seconds by the proposer's action (offer or exit).

time_r1 is the elapsed time in seconds by the first responder's action (acceptance or rejection).

time_r2 is the elapsed time in seconds by the second responder's action (acceptance or rejection).
