Strategic reasoning and sensitivity to stakes in the dictator and ultimatum games : LLMs vs. human proposers

Polachek, Solomon W.; Romano, Kenneth; Tonguc, Ozlem - 2026

This study examines how large language models (LLMs) respond to varying stake sizes in the Dictator and Ultimatum games using the high-stakes design introduced by Andersen et al. (2011). We test ten leading LLMs chosen for their accessibility, prominence, and differences in reasoning...

Investigating the social boundaries of fairness by modeling Ultimatum Game responders' decisions with multinomial processing tree models

Biella, Marco; Hennig, Max; Oswald, Laura - 2025

Fairness in competitive games such as the Ultimatum Game is often defined theoretically. According to some of the literature, in which fairness is determined only based on resource allocation, a proposal splitting resources evenly (i.e., 5:5) is generally assumed as fair, and minimal deviation...

Simultaneous battles and sequential battles in bargaining models of war

Nakao, Keisuke - 2025

A war consists of multiple battles, yet the theoretical literature of International Relations has given little attention to how battles relate within a war. By integrating two ultimatum games with private information played by an Aggressor and a Defender, we develop bargaining models of war with...

Are university students less trusting and trustworthy than rural people in Malawi?

Holden, Stein Terje; Tione, Sarah; Tilahun, Mesfin; … - 2026

Trust and trustworthiness are central to economic development and are frequently studied using behavioral experiments. A concern is that such evidence often relies on student samples, raising questions about external validity. While existing studies, largely from high-income countries, suggest...

Social distance, beliefs, norms, and cognitive precision in trust games : evidence from a field experiment

We study how trust and trustworthiness respond to social distance and how beliefs, norms, and cognitive precision shape social exchange in a field experiment with irrigation farmers. Using a standard trust game with within-subject variation in social-distance framing, we distinguish interactions...

Do White and Black Americans differ in their response to fair versus unfair treatment, and do these reactions depend on whether treatment is intentional? We study an ultimatum game in which we non-deceptively vary three dimensions: racial identities of participants, offer inequality, and whether...

Trust behaviour of sexual minorities : evidence from a large-scale trust game experiment

Berlingieri, Francesco; Kovacic, Matija; Stepanova, Elena - 2025

Using a large-scale incentivized trust game experiment conducted across all 27 EU member states, we find that sexual minorities exhibit greater prosocial behaviour toward another vulnerable group but not toward an unknown counterpart, compared to heterosexual individuals. The observed effects...

When artificial minds negotiate : dark personality and the ultimatum game in large language models

We investigate if Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit personality-driven strategic behavior in the Ultimatum Game by manipulating Dark Factor of Personality (D-Factor) profiles via standardized prompts. Across 400k decisions from 17 open-source models and 4,166 human benchmarks, we test whether...

Not all uncertainty is treated equally : information search under social and nonsocial uncertainty

Fleischhut, Nadine; Artinger, Florian; Olschewski, Sebastian - 2022

The social world is often portrayed as being less predictable and more uncertain than the nonsocial world. People may therefore feel the need to search more for information before making a choice. However, we suggest that cognitive tools such as social projection and norm-based expectation may...
