Influence of Coercion on the Perception of a Fair Outcome
An outcome that appears fair on the surface, such as an even 50-50 split of money, can be judged as unfair if the process to reach it was unjust. For instance, if one person proposes an equal division only because the other person threatened them, the use of coercion invalidates the fairness of the procedure. Consequently, the otherwise equitable outcome is perceived as unfair.

True or False: In an economic interaction where one person proposes how to divide a sum of money and a second person can only accept or reject the proposal (with rejection meaning neither person receives anything), the fact that the rules are transparent and applied equally to all participants is sufficient to guarantee that any final division of the money is also fair.

Modifying an Economic Game to Enhance Fairness
In an economic interaction, a 'Proposer' is given $100 and must suggest a division of the money with a 'Responder'. The Responder can either accept the proposed division, in which case the money is split as suggested, or reject it, in which case neither person receives any money. The rules are known to both participants in advance. The Proposer offers $1 to the Responder, and the Responder accepts. Which statement best analyzes the fairness of this situation?
