In this experiment, you will be traveling to two different cities — Paris and London — where you will pick up objects and food items to sell.
On each turn, you will find two items. Pairs of items have a value between 0 and 1 dollar determined by how the market is doing right then – you will be presented with the items, and get a commission of 10% of the value of each pair of items you pick up (paid to you at the end of the experiment).
Within each city, the resale value of the found items can suddenly change given fluctuations in the market. For example, you might find a bunch of objects that are worth $0.55 on average, and suddenly things will change and the next run of objects will only be worth $0.15 on average.
