Economics Experiment - $0.01 +3.34 bonus Confirmed!
Unrated
Acceptable
Approved
$ / hour
00:00:00 / completion time
Pros
Actual task was a lot simpler than I thought initially, you only have to make 1 choice each round and the next round starts automatically after all choices are in and they send you an email alert that the new round has started if you didn't notice already.I don't know how long I spent, but it probably wasn't even 10 minutes total.
-Requester is Bharat Bhole from RIT, but for some reason doesn't include any of their academic contact information and instead uses unidentifiable email.
Edit: Subsequent versions of this now have consent form with clearly laid out contact information and identification.
Cons
Enter for random chance to be invited to part 2.-Bonus received 9/10 only after contacting requester through personal email that I was only able to find because they fortunately left their name in the source code. They did not respond to communication sent through MTurk before that. I guess that meets the minimum threshold for "acceptable" communication.

Pros
My time reflects all time spent to sign up, get through the instructions/comprehension quiz, the main task, and the follow-up demographics survey. Minimum bonus of $1 if you complete most rounds, max bonus is somewhere around $6.50 I think, but it'ss unlikely you'll earn much more than I did unless you're partner makes some terrible choices. They email you when each round is live, and you have an hour to make your choice, so it shouldn't require any waiting around.Cons
Have to sign in to a third party platform. Long instructions. Could be really annoying if you get a partner that doesn't respond quickly, requiring you to check back in every hour.Bit of a strange set up:
Once the experiment starts, it will run from 1pm-9pm US Eastern Time every day, until 22 rounds have been completed. Depending on how long you and the other group member takes for a decision, the experiment could be over in less than 10 minutes, or run for 2-3 days (see the point above). Even when it runs for 2-3 days, based on the previous runs, we don't expect your actual time commitment to exceed 20 minutes.
