Dictator-game data

Data on the results from "dictator games" played in an experimental study, based on the paper "Giving and taking in dictator games – differences by gender? A replication study of Chowdhury et al.", Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics, 2023. Each observation corresponds to one play of the game. Earnings are for the dictator. Two game variants are the "giving game" (dictator starts with endowment) and "taking game" (recipient starts with endowment).
