How Effective Are Ultimatums? (Replay)
No Stupid Questions
Exploring Ultimatums in the Experimental Setting
In ultimatum game scenarios, individuals often prioritize fairness over economic rationality, demonstrating a willingness to reject offers perceived as unfair, even at a personal financial loss. The dynamics of anonymity in such situations influence decision-making, as responders focus on perceived equity rather than potential monetary gain. Research shows that offers between 40% and 50% are the most common, reflecting a strong inclination towards fairness.
