The Labor Market Hiring Process as an Ultimatum Game
The hiring process in the labor market can be viewed as an ultimatum game. Business owners or employers act as Proposers, as they are the ones who set the initial offer, including wages and employment conditions. Job applicants, in turn, function as Responders who can either accept or reject these terms.

A two-person game is structured as follows: Player 1 (the Proposer) is given a sum of money and must offer a portion of it to Player 2 (the Responder). The Responder can then either accept the offer, in which case the money is split as proposed, or reject it, in which case both players receive nothing. Arrange the following events of a single round of this game in the correct chronological order.
According to a model where individuals are assumed to be perfectly rational and motivated solely by self-interest, a Responder in the ultimatum game should reject any offer they perceive as unfair, even if it is greater than zero.
