But something surprising happened. Beginning with Werner Güth’s famous paper in 1982 (Güth et al. 1982), the first empirical studies that were actually conducted to see what people would do in this situation found a rather different result. Robert Forsythe and his colleagues, for instance, found that not one offerer kept the entire amount of $10, and that offers were instead distributed around the 50/50 split amount with 75% offering at least an equal amount (1994: 362). As we noted, this behavior by offerers is not what standard game theory would have predicted. Similarly, in a well-known paper Daniel Kahneman and his colleagues found that out of $10, the mean amount offered was $4.76 with 81% making equal split offers (1986: S291, see also Güth 1995).
