Abstract

One of the models used in game theory is the ultimatum

game, which has frequently been resorted to in the examination

of economic decision-making mechanisms in the behavioral sciences.

Since Adam Smith, traditional economic theory has acknowledged

that individual agents focus more on expected utility in the

decision-making process. However, many case studies conducted

by using ultimatum game theory have demonstrated that many individuals preferred to act with considerations such as fairness,

rather than maximizing expected utility in the economic decision-

making process. The purpose of this study is to examine the

perception of fairness in the ultimatum game, as well as determining

the factors, which have an overall impact on the economic

behavior.

Ekonomik Karar Almada Adalet Ve Oyun Teorisi

Abstract

Davranış bilimlerindeki ekonomik karar verme mekanizmalarının

incelenmesinde sıklıkla başvurulan oyun teorisi modellemelerinden

biri ültimatom oyunudur. Adam Smith’ten bu yana

geleneksel ekonomik teori, bireyin karar verirken öncelikle kendi

menfaatini öne çıkardığını kabul eder. Fakat ültimatom oyunu

modellemesiyle yapılan pek çok deney, bireyin ekonomik karar

verirken, kendi menfaatini azami hale getirmekten ziyade, adalet

kavramına uygun hareket etmeyi tercih ettiğini göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanın

amacı, ekonomik bir karar modellemesi olan ültimatom

oyunundaki adalet algısını incelemek ve ekonomik davranışa etki

eden unsurlarını belirlemektir.

Keywords

Oyun teorisi, ültimatom oyunu, ekonomik karar alma, adalet
