Chapter Chapter 2 in The Mystery of the Ultimatum Game, 2025, pp 13-25 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter delves into the details of the ultimatum game and reviews experimental results from across the globe, demonstrating that the “rational” beings posited by traditional economics are nowhere to be found in reality. It then poses the question: why do these discrepancies exist?
