Structure of folders of replication material:

1) Experimental Software: contains the original zTree programms for all treatments (in german)

2) Experimental Instructions: contains instructions for all treatments (original german version + english translation)

3) Raw Data: contains all original zTree output (excel files)

4) Analysis: contains all Stata DO-files to prepare and clean the data and to replicate all the analysis, including tables, figures and tests


Further information for replication:

- Experiment:
The experiment was designed using z-Tree, version 3.6.7, see:
Fischbacher, U.(2007):  
“z-Tree:  Zurich toolbox for ready-made economic experiments,”
Experimental Economics, 10, 171–178

- Analysis:
You can replicate all the analysis, including tables, figures and tests by using STATA (Version 14). For repliaction either use the raw excel files 
and the "Read_In" Do-file to create the main data base or use the Data.dta file directly. Afterwards, use "Variables" DO-file to clean the data set, 
create all new variables and label all variables. These labels serve as the codebook for the variables.
For the main analysis, use the "Analysis" DO-file to replicate all tables, figures and tests from the paper.
