Our Lab in India

Thank you all for your amazing support.

We have some great news from India! Thanks to our very able Research Assistant, our project has been able to secure access to the computer labs and facilities of a college* in Kolkata for conducting this experiment. 

Also, the researchers in Seattle have received great feedback on the project and are in the final stages of constructing the software for the experiment.

* For design concerns we are not disclosing the name of the college.

About This Project

We often find ourselves helping friends in their times of financial need. Even though one of the primary benefits of such a social norm is risk mitigation, it comes with a heavy unseen cost. Living in a risk-protected environment takes away an individual's motivation to work hard. So, every individual in a social network has a lower incentive to make an effort. We make the first attempt at uncovering this inefficiency in a laboratory setup.
