Detecting Failures of Backward Induction: Monitoring Information Search in Sequential Bargaining

TL;DR: In this article, a three-round bargaining game where the (perfect) equilibrium offer was $1.25 and an equal split was $2.11 was conducted, and the average offer was a little lower than the equilibrium.

A positive theory of economic fairness

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a positive theory of economic fairness which strives for generality by characterizing the fairness values which people share across differing contexts and attempt to isolate these underlying values from more situation-specific perceptual effects (e.g., framing effects) which may have an impact on reported fairness.
