Casal, Sandro; Güth, Werner; Jia, Mofei; Ploner, Matteo - 2011
Envy is often the cause of mutually harmful outcomes. We experimentally study the impact of envy in a bargaining setting in which there is no conflict in material interests: a proposer, holding the role of residual claimant, chooses the size of the pie to be shared with a responder, whose share...

Bäker, Agnes; Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, … - 2012
We consider three-person envy games with a proposer, a responder, and a dummy player. In this class of games, the proposer, rather than allocating a constant pie, chooses the pie size which the responder can then accept or reject while the dummy player can only refuse his own share. While the...

Why did he do that? : using counterfactuals to study the effect of intentions in extensive form games
Engler, Yola; Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Page, Lionel - 2016
We investigate the role of intentions in two-player two-stage games. For this purpose we systematically vary the set of opportunity sets the first mover can chose from and study how the second mover reacts not only to opportunities of gains but also of losses created by the choice of the first...
