Standard deviations are given in parentheses. Treatment effects are tested by one-tailed
Mann-Whitney U-tests (*) and Jonckheere-Terpstra tests (#) respectively.
Our design gradually increases the amount of feedback information from treatment to
treatment. As a consequence, several observed treatment differences of neighboring
treatments are sometimes insignificant (see Table 1). However, we observe a continuous
improvement in market performance due to higher network density. The Jonckheere-Terpstra
test shows that there is an ordering for all three key variables (trust rate, honor rate and
performance rate) of the treatments according to the network’s density.3
3 The Jonckheere-Terpstra test is a non-parametric test for ordered differences among classes. The alternative
hypothesis assumes a certain ordering of the medians of k statistically independent samples. All average values -
each of a statistically independent observation from a treatment with the same network density - are assigned to
one class.
