The study proposes to investigate in human subjects the preference over distributions of temporally diffused goods (such as scarce resources of climate stability) under different information settings. In particular, we wish to test the role of feedback for the creation of a social norm that can last for several generations (corresponding to rounds of the experimental game), and the role of the first generation (player) in the creation of a fair allocation of resources.​
