Sequential decision and strategy vector methods in ultimatum bargaining: evidence on the strength of other-regarding behavior

Abstract Comparisons of ultimatum game results elicited using the strategy vector method against results from sequential decision protocol and recommended play treatments show little difference between methods. This result has implications for the innateness of “other-regarding behavior” and experimental methods.
