Is the ultimatum game a three-body affair? (2005)
Authors
Abstract
The Ultimatum Game is commonly interpreted as a two-person bargaining game. The third person who donates and may withdraw the money is not included in the theoretical equations, but treated like a neutral measurement instrument, Yet in a cross-cultural analysis it seems necessary to consider the possibility that the thoughts of a player - strategic, altruistic, selfish, or concerned about reputation - are influenced by both an anonymous second player and the non-anonymous experimenter.
