Sequential Decision and Strategy Vector Methods in Ultimatum Bargaining: Evidence on the Strength of Other- Regarding Behavior

چکیده
We compare ultimatum game results elicited using the strategy vector method against results from sequential decision protocol and recommended play treatments. We find little difference between these methods. This result has implications for the innateness of “otherregarding behavior” and experimental methods. JEL classification: C90

We implemented three anonymity conditions; one baselin...
