In our stochastic (alternating offer) bargaining experiment, there is a certain first-period pie and a known finite … requires information about all later pie sizes and probabilities, forward reasoning is expected to consider only the immediate … backward induction by control of information retrieval.

Approximate truth of perfectness: An experimental test
Berninghaus, Siegfried K.; Güth, Werner; King, Li King - 2012
Approximate truth refers to the principle that border cases should be analyzed by solving generic cases and solving border cases as limits of generic ones (Brennan et al., 2008). Our study experimentally explores whether this conceptual principle is also behaviorally appealing. To do so, we...

Being of two minds: an ultimatum experiment investigating affective processes
Cappelletti, Dominique; Güth, Werner; Ploner, Matteo - 2008
We experimentally investigate how affective processes influence proposers' and responders' behaviour in the Ultimatum Game. Using a dualsystem approach, we tax cognitive resources through time pressure and cognitive load to enhance the influence of affective processes on behaviour. We find that...

Social communication and discrimination: A video experiment
Greiner, Ben; Güth, Werner; Zultan, Ro'i - 2010
We report on an experiment using video technology to manipulate pre-play communication protocols in the lab and to study purely social effects of communication on donations and discrimination between potential receivers. The experimental design eliminates strategic factors by allowing two...
