    Notes: Abstract The notion that fairness can be determined by using impartial reasoning is examined and an argument is advanced that experimental methods can be used to determine what is fair in certain well-defined contexts. Implications for the prisoner's dilemma are examined. The standard game theoretic prescription of defection in the two-person prisoner's dilemma is contrasted with the prescription generated by rational self-interested players playing the game from an “impartial reasoning” point of view. The incentive structure in such a situation is shown to be similar to that in the familiar “You cut the cake and I choose” rule. The incentive is to be as fair as possible and it reveals the ethical content of rational self-interested behavior. When players choose in ignorance of whether the strategic choice is for themselves or their counterpart their choices are ipso facto fair. The indicated choice of mutual cooperation furnishes a partial explanation for the observed cooperation in experimental contexts. The moral prescriptions that individuals experience are shown to be a function of their risk propensities and to vary as a function of the cardinal properties of games. Implications for behavior in other games are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Subjects play a 5-person Prisoner's Dilemma both from an impartial point of view and in a regular fashion to determine whether 1) Concerns for fairness increase cooperative behavior; 2) Play of a Prisoner's Dilemma from an impartial point of view results in significantly higher levels of cooperation than does normal play; 3) Concern for fairness has greater explanatory force in explaining cooperation in impartial plays of the Prisoner's Dilemma than in normal plays; and 4) Experience with impartial play of a Prisoner's Dilemma sensitizes subjects to normative imperatives and results in higher levels of cooperation in subsequent normal plays of Prisoner's Dilemmas. The first and second hypotheses are supported, the third is inverted, and the fourth is not supported. Concern for fairness is demonstrated to play a complex role in explaining cooperative behavior in regular plays of the game. An earlier version was presented at the Annual meetings of the Public Choice Society, 1993 Monteleone Hotel, New Orleans; 20 March 1993.

    Notes: Abstract Vote maximizing candidates for reelection often have an incentive to redistribute income. They target certain constituent groups as recipients for income transfers and others as income losers. Resulting situations bifurcate sharply. Some have characteristics of ‘fairness’ and moderation and others of exploitation. The conditions which lead to these sorts of situations are identified. It is shown that recipients of income transfers need not be central members of the incumbents' coalitions but rather may at times be ‘fence straddlers.’

    Notes: Abstract In order to maximize votes, incumbent politicians design and implement redistributional programs. These programs benefit some voters at the expense of others. In the simple two group (or tax payers and beneficiaries) case we identify the nature of vote maximizing transfer policies. This model's basic approach is shown to hold for multiple group models as well. Strategic implications for the organizers of sub groups of the population (or group leaders) are developed. Other extensions of the model are discussed. qu]Where the budget is clever is in its detail. Each little measure is designed to hurt (but not too much) people who are not politically important, while tossing a bone to people who are. You can see this in a host of different ways.
