KUHN It gives me great pleasure to chair this seminar on the importance of Nash’s work on the occasion of the first Nobel award that recognizes the central importance of game theory in current economic theory. I shall be joined by two colleagues whom I’ve known for over thirty years, John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten, two new friends, Jörgen Weibull and Eric van Damme, and John Nash, whom I’ve known since we were graduate students together in Princeton forty-six years ago. The timing of these awards has historical significance, since this year is the fiftieth anniversary of the publicationof “The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior” [52] by the Princeton University Press.

Azar a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Werner Güth’s ultimatum game played a key role in the development of multiple research Available online 29 October 2014 areas, several of which are highlighted. © 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V. 1. Introduction The ultimatum game (UG), introduced by Güth et al. (1982) in a classic article published in this Journal, depicts a two- person bargaining situation. Player 1 proposes a division of a sum of money. Player 2 observes the proposal and either accepts it, in which case payoffs will be as indicated, or rejects it, in which case the players make 0 each. This special article for the special issue honoring Werner Güth highlights research areas where this game played a key role. The topics span game theory, learning, bargaining, fairness, reciprocity, discrimination, development, neuroeconomics, ethics, and bounded rationality, and the article ends with a citation analysis. 2. Werner’s ultimatum game: a building block towards unified social science 1 By Eric van Damme A large part of economics is based on the joint assumptions that individuals are selfish and rational, and aims to under- stand observed outcomes of strategic or market interaction as equilibria of associated games.
