Average offers rise slightly from Part 1 to Part 2 in the baseline and fall slightly in the other two treatments, though these differences are either insignificant or marginally significant (two-sided Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, matching-group-level data, p ≈ 0.062 in the baseline; p ≈ 0.078 in the KA treatment, p > 0.20 in the UA treatment).

weakly significantp ≈ 0.091so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

However, these differences are not significant in either treatment individually (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, p > 0.20), and jointly the difference is only weakly significant (p ≈ 0.091).
