Abstract
This discussion paper resulted in a publication in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (2008), volume 66, pages 243-250. We study fairness and reciprocity in a Hawk-Dove game. This alllows us to testvarious models in one framework. We observe a large extent of selfish and rationalbehavior. Our results are inconsistent with leading models in this field.
