Game

You will play an experimental economics game. At the end of this game, you will receive vouchers whose amount will depend on the fictitious gains made in the game (gains calculated in ECU, a fictitious currency).

You will play with two other players. Each player represents a company, and each company receives an initial capital of 100,000 ECU. Each company is more or less socially responsible. This social responsibility is measured by a number, the DRS, which can increase indefinitely.

Before the game starts, you will answer a quiz. Your answers will determine the DRS of your business. Your company can be rewarded for its DSR by receiving a gain, which is a percentage of its capital.

The game consists firstly of collectively defining the gain for each company. If, for example, you decide that a company whose DSR is 10 points deserves to receive a gain of 5%, it will receive 5% of its capital. If the capital is 100,000 ECU, it receives a gain of 5,000 ECU, and its capital will become 105,000 (this are the fictitious gains that determine your final reward).

You can also change the DRS of your company by investing a portion of its capital.

The game takes place in several sessions of four rounds. At each round you have to set the gains and choose the level of your investment. The winner of each session will be the player with the most winnings. The game starts with a training session that does not count for the final award of vouchers.
