Suppose Justine and Sarah are playing the ultimatum game. Justine is the proposer, has $140 to allocate, and Sarah can accept or reject the offer. Based on repeated experiments of the ultimatum game, what combination of payouts to Justine and Sarah is most likely to occur?.
Evaluate the following statement. “We shouldn’t generalize from what people do in the ultimatum game because $10 is a trivial amount of money. When larger amounts of money are on the line, people will act differently.”
Why might the multiple-play ultimatum game have a different result than the single-play ultimatum game?
In the multiple-play ultimatum game, the first player generally offers less money to the second player than in the single-play ultimatum game.
The multiple-play ultimatum game leads to a simpler equilibrium: the first player offers exactly half of the total sum to the second player.
The multiple-play ultimatum game allows for players to send signals. Therefore, the receiver can punish a player who doesn’t share enough.
The multiple-play ultimatum game generally results in less cooperation because both players fall into a back-and-forth pattern of trying to punish the other player.

- Consider the following scenarios in the Ultimatum game, viewed from the perspective of the Recipient. Assume that the Recipient is motivated by negative reciprocity and will gain $15 of value from rejecting an offer that is strictly less than 50 percent of the total amount to be divided between the two players by the Proposer. Assume that the Proposer can only make offers in increments of $1. If the pot is $30, what is the minimum offer that the Responder will accept? What percent of the pie is this amount? The minimum offer that will be accepted is S. which represents percent of the pie. If the pot is $100, what is the minimum offer that the Responder will accept? What percent of the pie is this amount? The minimum offer that will be accepted is S, which represents percent of the pie.

- Economics Consider the ultimatum and dictator games. a) Briefly explain the general experimental findings about how individuals play these games. How do they compare with the game theoretic predictions? b) How do social preferences explain behavior in these experiments? c) Real world experiences have an impact on experimental behavior. Explain how real world experiences could affect behavior in each of theses experiments. d) Suppose that you would like to increase the amount that is sent in these experiments. Can you think of a way to to this? e) Suppose that individuals play first a dictator game and then an ultimatum game with the roles reversed, i.e. the sender in the dictator game is the receiver in the ultimatum game.
