Influence of Competition on Negotiation Outcomes
The outcomes of negotiations, like those studied in the standard two-player ultimatum game, can change significantly when competition is introduced. For example, a situation with multiple potential partners, such as a professor choosing from several applicants for a research assistant position, alters the bargaining dynamics compared to a one-on-one interaction.

Influence of Competition on Negotiation Outcomes
In an experiment, one participant (the Proposer) is given $100 and must offer a portion of it to a second participant (the Responder). The Responder can either accept the offer, in which case they both get the money as proposed, or reject it, in which case neither participant receives any money. The data from many rounds of this one-shot interaction show two key patterns: (1) The most frequent offer made by Proposers is $50, and (2) Responders typically reject any offer below $30. What is the most likely explanation for these observed behaviors?
Predicting Behavior in a Modified Bargaining Game
In a one-shot bargaining experiment, a 'Proposer' suggests how to split a sum of money with a 'Responder'. The Responder can accept or reject the offer; if rejected, neither person receives anything. Match each observed action to the underlying motivation it most strongly demonstrates.

Evaluating Economic Models with Experimental Evidence
In a one-shot bargaining experiment where one person proposes a split of $100 and another accepts or rejects it (with rejection meaning neither gets anything), a Proposer offering only $1 demonstrates a purely rational, self-interested strategy that maximizes their expected monetary payoff.

Negotiation Dynamics with Competition
In a negotiation over a $100 surplus, a Proposer makes a take-it-or-leave-it offer to a Responder. If the Responder rejects, neither party receives anything. Now, consider a change where the Proposer can make the same offer to two independent Responders (Responder 1 and Responder 2) and will complete the deal with the first one who accepts. How does the introduction of the second Responder most likely affect the Proposer's bargaining position and the offer they will make?

Comparing Negotiation Scenarios
Consider a negotiation where a single buyer is looking to purchase a specific item. In a scenario with only one seller, they negotiate a price. If a second, competing seller offering an identical item enters the market, the buyer's bargaining power decreases, likely resulting in them paying a higher final price.
Consumption Smoothing Decisions
Match each negotiation scenario with the party that holds the most bargaining power due to the competitive environment.
In a labor negotiation, a single company is hiring for a specialized role. If there is only one qualified candidate, that candidate has significant bargaining power. However, if five equally qualified candidates apply for the same position, the bargaining power shifts to the ____, likely resulting in a lower final salary offer.
