Activity Example You must send me an email (before the deadline) with the two numbers in it. My email address is The email should have the header "ECON 208 Game". The email should tell me how many points you want to "KEEP" and how many points you want to "GIVE". The sum of these two numbers must be the total points for this activity, 20. The details on this decision are below. Please read carefully because, your activity grade is determined by your choice. For this activity you have been randomly assigned to a group consisting of you and one other person. You do not know now, nor will you ever know, who this other person is. For this activity all you have to do is distribute your 20 points into two accounts. One account called KEEP and one account called GIVE. The GIVE account is a group account between you and your group member. For every point that you (or your group member) put in the GIVE account, I will add to it 50% more points and then redistribute these points evenly to you and your group member. The sum of the points you put in KEEP and GIVE must equal the total 20 points. Any points you put in the KEEP account are kept by you and are part of your score on this activity. Your score on the activity is the sum of the points from your KEEP account and any amount you get from the GIVE account. For example, suppose that two people are grouped together. Person A and Person B. If A designates 10 points in KEEP and 10 points in GIVE and person B designates 20 points to KEEP and 0 points to GIVE then each person's activity grade is calculated in this manner. Person A's activity grade = (A's KEEP) + 1.5(Sum of the two GIVE accounts)/2 = 10 +(1.5)(0+10)/2= 10 + 7.5 = 17.5. Person A's score then is 17.5 out of 20. Person B's activity grade = (B's KEEP) + 1.5(Sum of the two GIVE accounts)/2 = 20 +(1.5)(0+10)/2= 20+ 7.5. Person B's score then is 27.5 out of 20. learly tell me how many points you want to put in the KEEP account and how many you want to put in the GIVE account.
