Title: Theoretical Models of Decision Making in Ultimatum Game
Speaker: Tatiana V. Guy, Head of Department of Adaptive Systems, Institute Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague
Abstract: Decision-making (DM) is considered the most essential phase in a human volitional act and according to traditional economic models humans could be replaced by “rational agents”. Predictions implied by this are well seen on the considered Ultimatum Game (UG).
In a short informal talk I will discuss i) fairness aspects as the cause of the deviations from the predicted game-theoretical behaviour in UG responder’s behaviour and ii) how the impact of limited deliberation effort allocated by human-responder can be modelled in multi-proposer UG.
