Responder's Veto Power as a Limit on Proposer's Bargaining Power
While the Proposer holds significant power by setting the offer, their bargaining power is not absolute. The Responder's ability to refuse or veto any offer serves as a crucial constraint, limiting the Proposer's ability to claim the entire pie.

Evaluating Substantive and Procedural Fairness in the Ultimatum Game
In a one-shot ultimatum game involving a $100 prize, which of the following scenarios presents the biggest challenge to the assumption that individuals act purely out of self-interest to maximize their own financial gain?
Analyzing a Seemingly Irrational Economic Decision
A two-person game is structured as follows: Player 1 (the Proposer) is given a sum of money and must offer a portion of it to Player 2 (the Responder). The Responder can then either accept the offer, in which case the money is split as proposed, or reject it, in which case both players receive nothing. Arrange the following events of a single round of this game in the correct chronological order.
According to a model where individuals are assumed to be perfectly rational and motivated solely by self-interest, a Responder in the ultimatum game should reject any offer they perceive as unfair, even if it is greater than zero.

Match each role or outcome in the ultimatum game with its corresponding description.

Defining the Rules of the Ultimatum Game
Functions of Pirate Institutions as 'Rules of the Game'
In a two-person negotiation over a sum of money, one person (the Proposer) makes a single 'take-it-or-leave-it' offer on how to split the sum. The second person (the Responder) can either accept the offer, and the money is split as proposed, or reject it, in which case neither person receives anything. Now, consider a change to this structure: there is still only one Proposer, but there are now two Responders. The Proposer makes an offer, and the first Responder to accept it gets the proposed share. Based on an analysis of the players' incentives, how does this change most likely affect the balance of bargaining power?

Evaluating Bargaining Power Under Different Negotiation Rules
In a one-time negotiation where one person proposes a split of $100 and the other can only accept or reject it (with rejection meaning both get nothing), the proposer's bargaining power is absolute because the responder will logically accept any offer greater than zero.
Analyzing Power Dynamics in a 'Take-It-Or-Leave-It' Negotiation
In a negotiation over a $100 prize, one person (the Proposer) makes a single 'take-it-or-leave-it' offer to a second person (the Responder). If the Responder accepts, the prize is split as proposed. In the standard version, if the Responder rejects the offer, both get $0. Consider a modification to this rule: if the Responder rejects the offer, the Proposer gets $0, but the Responder receives a fixed payment of $10. How does this modification affect the balance of bargaining power?
In a negotiation over a fixed sum of money, a 'Proposer' makes a single offer on how to divide it, and a 'Responder' reacts. Match each variation of this negotiation's rules to the most likely shift in bargaining power.

Modifying Negotiation Rules to Shift Power
In a negotiation over a $100 prize, a single Responder can accept an offer from one of two Proposers. Both Proposers simultaneously make a 'take-it-or-leave-it' offer. The Responder can see both offers and choose to accept one, in which case the prize is split as proposed with that Proposer. If the Responder rejects both offers, no one receives any money. How does this rule structure, compared to a standard single-Proposer negotiation, most likely affect the distribution of bargaining power?

Bargaining Power in a Single-Offer Negotiation
In a one-time negotiation, Person A is given $100 and must propose a way to split it with Person B. Person B can only accept or reject the proposal. If Person B rejects it, both individuals receive nothing. Person A proposes to keep $99 and give $1 to Person B. From a strategic standpoint, what is the primary reason Person B might reject this offer?
In a single-offer, take-it-or-leave-it negotiation, the person making the offer (the Proposer) holds all the bargaining power because they are the only one who can formulate the terms of the deal.

The Proposer's Dilemma
Evaluating Proposer Strategies in a Single-Offer Negotiation
In a one-time negotiation, a Proposer is given a sum of money to divide with a Responder. The Responder can only accept or reject the proposed split; a rejection means neither party gets anything. How does the Responder's ability to reject the offer fundamentally limit the Proposer's power?
Strategic Offer Formulation
The Proposer's Constraint
Two individuals, a Proposer and a Responder, must divide $100 in a one-time interaction. The Proposer makes a single, final offer on how to split the money. If the Responder accepts, the money is divided as proposed. If the Responder rejects the offer, neither individual receives any money. To maximize their own gain while ensuring the offer is accepted, which of the following proposals is the most strategically sound for the Proposer to make?
