This project examines a class of social dilemmas in which groups of players are asked to share a resource pool whose size is not known. Rather, the size is sampled randomly from a probability distribution which is common knowledge. Each member of the group requests a share of the resource; individual requests are granted only if the total group request does not exceed x. Experimental evidence shows that as the uncertainty about the resource size increases, people increase their requests thereby increasing the probability that their requests will be denied. Six experiments will be conducted to study several variables of interest in such situations including the amount of uncertainty about the resource, the number of iterations (possible requests from one individual), the value of public and secret information, and speed of feedback concerning individual requests. Several situation protocols will be considered. Under one protocol requests are made independently and simultaneously, under a second protocol requests are made sequentially, and under third protocol only chronological information is provided. The experiments are driven by game theoretical models describing equilibrium solutions and psychological models involving the concept of focal points. This award is to be supplemented under the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. This project provides a variety of excellent research opportunities for for undergraduate students. There are several components of the research where undergraduates have an opportunity to contribute to the project and to work closely with the principal investigator. Specifically, two undergraduate students will be supported. These students will be involved in design, conduct, and analysis of a series of experiments. The integration of students into all phases of the project should be of significant benefit to the students as they plan career goals.

这个项目研究了一类社会困境， 的玩家被要求共享一个大小不 知道的 相反，大小是从概率中随机抽样的 分布，这是常识。 组的每个成员 请求共享资源;单个请求被授予 仅当总的组请求不超过x时。 实验 有证据表明，由于资源规模的不确定性， 增加，人们增加他们的要求，从而增加 他们的请求被拒绝的可能性。 将进行六个实验来研究几个变量， 对这种情况的兴趣，包括不确定性的程度 关于资源、迭代次数（可能的请求 来自一个人），公共和秘密信息的价值， 以及关于个人请求的反馈速度。 几 将考虑情况协议。 根据一项议定书 请求是独立和同时提出的，根据 第二协议请求被顺序地做出，并且在第三协议请求下， 方案仅提供了时间顺序信息。 的 实验由博弈理论模型驱动， 平衡解决方案和心理模型， 焦点的概念。 该奖项将根据研究经验进行补充， 本科生（REU）计划。 该项目提供了多种 为本科生提供了极好的研究机会。 这项研究有几个组成部分， 有机会为项目做出贡献， 与首席调查员保持密切联系 具体来说，两个 本科生将得到支持。 这些学生将 参与了一系列的设计、实施和分析， 实验 学生融入所有阶段的 项目应该对学生有很大的好处，因为他们 规划职业目标。
