Reference Points and Negative Reciprocity in Simple Sequential Games.

We investigate experimentally whether preferences over an outcome depend on what other possible outcomes of the situation under consideration are, i.e. whether choices are "menu dependent". In simple sequential games we analyze whether reactions to a certain benchmark oucome are influenced by changes in the payoffs of another outcome of the game, not attainable at that time, which we call the "reference point".
