“Si él lo necesita” (if he really needs it) was the most common
argument given by the subjects who accepted the zero offer in the
ultimatum game during experiments were conducted among illiterate
(adult) gypsies in Vallecas, Madrid. Interestingly the acceptance of
the zero offer was not a rare case but, in contrast, it was the modal
value. This is even more remarkable if we consider that the 97% of
the subjects proposed the equal split.
