In the multiple-play ultimatum game, the first player generally offers less money to the second player than in the single-play ultimatum game.

The multiple-play ultimatum game allows for players to send signals. Therefore, the receiver can punish a player who doesn’t share enough. The multiple-play ultimatum game generally results in less cooperation because both players fall into a back-and-forth pattern of trying to punish the other player.arrow_forward
