An Experimental Analysis of the Ultimatum Game : The Role of Competing Motivations

In this paper we propose to account for the observed behavior of players in the Ultimatum Game by a new thesis. According to this, players are motivated by both fairness and self-regarding concerns in this game, but they do not have at their disposal a principle that could trade-off one consideration against the other. We devised a test for this claim, and found that our thesis was confirmed in the corresponding experiments
