Abstract:
This paper presents an oTree addon that allows to include face-to-face communication in the form of a video chat in online group experiments. Group decisions, as opposed to individual decision-making, have recently gained considerable attention. The open-source addon is easy to use, exhibits a lean design, and allows to record communication patterns. It has already been successfully employed in a number of group experiments. We explain how to implement the addon and provide a number of recommendations for smooth functionality.
