What means esg?
Instructional Videos
We invite you to play a “game” to estimate your preferences between different social and environmental issues. Your task is to allocate resources between two different charities according to a randomly specified budget constraint. The game forces a specific tradeoff between the charities. The computer randomly selects the exchange between the charities: How many dollars you give up from one charity to be able to give one dollar to the other.
You have to do the allocation of resources at least 25 times, and the idea of the “game” is to achieve the maximum degree of consistency (at the end of the game, we compute the degree of “rationality” of your choices).
The charities are picked either randomly or pre-specified
Enjoy the game and please send us comments on how to improve it.
