I have spent my career running field experiments. With my new book coming out I have decided to run a few on all of you! Here is the first one!
I am giving away a bundle: 1 signed copy of my new book Experimental Economics: Theory and Practice + 1 free t-shirt of the book. But, there is a Dictator Game twist.
In the comments please tag a friend. Before you know if you win, tell me your allocation: keep both, give one, or give it all away. If you are randomly selected, I'm holding you to what you said. Your choice is already public, and your friend can see it right now. Your chances of winning do not depend on your allocation.
I will randomly select a winner this Saturday at midnight EST and report back.
Extra credit giveaway: if the random person chosen also retweeted this message, then I will also send a signed copy of The Voltage Effect to both them and their partner. And, yes, your partner can sign up too to double your chances!
Good luck!
