– Proposer offers division of $10; responder accepts or rejectsProposer offers division of $10; responder accepts or rejects Theories: Theories:
– Rejections express social preferences (care about $, envy, guilt)Rejections express social preferences (care about $, envy, guilt)– ““Unnatural habitat” (adapted to repeated games, one-shot is Stroop)Unnatural habitat” (adapted to repeated games, one-shot is Stroop)
Variants: Variants: – Dictator games (same responsibility?)Dictator games (same responsibility?)– Demographics (generally weak)Demographics (generally weak)– Stakes– rejected $ goes up, % goes downStakes– rejected $ goes up, % goes down– Repetition etc.– weak Repetition etc.– weak – Low information about “pie” sizeLow information about “pie” size lower offers (and “pleading poverty ”) lower offers (and “pleading poverty ”)– Proposer competitionProposer competition offers give most to responder offers give most to responder– Two-stage gamesTwo-stage games responders (weakly) accept lower offers because responders (weakly) accept lower offers because
