Ultimatum Game with Competition: One Proposer and Two Responders
An example of a modified ultimatum game designed to study competition involves one Proposer who offers a two-way split of a fixed sum, such as $100, to two separate Responders. This setup introduces a competitive element between the Responders, altering the strategic considerations for all players compared to the standard one-on-one version of the game.

A homeowner is selling a unique piece of art and is willing to accept no less than $500. Initially, they are negotiating with a single potential buyer who is willing to pay up to $1,000. Before they agree on a price, a second potential buyer expresses interest, and is also willing to pay up to $1,000. How does the introduction of the second buyer most likely alter the negotiation dynamics and the final selling price?

A technology firm needs to hire a developer with a very rare and specific skill set for a critical project. After a long search, they find only one qualified candidate.

A local bakery is negotiating to purchase a new oven from 'ProBake Ovens'. The bakery is willing to pay up to $10,000, and ProBake is willing to sell for as low as $8,000. Before a deal is finalized, a competing supplier, 'Artisan Ovens', offers a comparable oven and is willing to sell it for as low as $7,500. How does the introduction of Artisan Ovens most likely impact the negotiation between the bakery and ProBake Ovens?

Strategic Decision in a Competitive Offer Scenario
An individual is given $100 and must propose a split to two other people. The same offer is made to both individuals simultaneously. If at least one person accepts the offer, the money is split as proposed with that person (or persons), and anyone who rejects gets nothing. If both reject, no one gets any money. How does the presence of a second potential recipient fundamentally alter the strategic considerations for each recipient compared to a scenario with only one?

Power Dynamics in Competitive Bargaining
In a bargaining scenario where one person proposes a split of $100 to two other people, a recipient's threat to reject a very low offer (e.g., $1) holds the same strategic weight as it would in a scenario with only one recipient.
In a bargaining scenario, one person (the Proposer) is given $100 and must propose how to split it with two other people (the Responders). The Proposer makes the exact same offer to both Responders simultaneously. If at least one Responder accepts the offer, the money is split as proposed with that Responder (or both, if both accept), and anyone who rejects gets nothing. If both Responders reject the offer, no one gets any money. Assuming all three individuals are perfectly rational and want to maximize their own financial gain, what is the lowest offer a Responder should accept?
An individual is given $100 and must propose a split to two other people. The same offer is made to both individuals simultaneously. If at least one person accepts the offer, the money is split as proposed with that person (or persons), and anyone who rejects gets nothing. If both reject, no one gets any money. How does the Proposer's bargaining power in this scenario compare to a situation where they make an offer to only one person?
In a bargaining game, one person (the Proposer) is given $100 and must make a simultaneous, identical offer to two other people (the Responders). If at least one Responder accepts the offer, the deal is made with the accepting Responder(s), and any who reject get nothing. If both reject, no one gets any money. The Proposer decides to offer each Responder $50. From the perspective of a purely rational Proposer aiming to maximize their own payoff, evaluate this decision.
Responder's Dilemma in a Competitive Offer
In a bargaining game, one person (the Proposer) has $100 and makes a simultaneous, identical offer to two other people (the Responders). If at least one Responder accepts, the deal is made with the accepting Responder(s). If both reject, no one gets anything. Which of the following statements best analyzes why a Responder's individual bargaining power is significantly weaker in this scenario compared to a one-on-one negotiation?
