In a dual labor market experiment, we examine how information and beliefs about teammates' decisions affect the individual selection of contribution and productivity. Participants must choose either a contributive (Market C) or a non-contributive labor market (Market NC) over five rounds. We randomized two types of information: in the Baseline treatment group, the participants receive individual performance-related details; in the Market Info we additionally present teammate's market selection and the earnings in each market. We find that i) Market Info increases the likelihood to select Market C; ii) Market selection is affected by beliefs, the higher the expected number of group-mates opting for Market C, the higher the probability to mimic their choice; and iii) the average productivity changes neither between markets nor treatments arms as we expected. However, we have some suggestive evidence that productivity changes across beliefs.
