This document contains a table that defines and describes 52 variables used in an experiment. The variables relate to participant demographics like ethnicity and gender. They also track participant behavior and outcomes in different rounds and parts of the experiment, such as productivity, team assignments, and choices made by decision makers. Additional variables track guesses and actual productivity amounts for individuals and teams used in a follow up experiment.

Reasons for excluding includes participants not showing up in round 2, participants/teams working less than 90 minutes because they had to leave early (e.g. one person started to feel unwell, one person received a phone call and had to leave) or in one instance working more than 90 minutes due to a malfunctioning alarm clock.
