This paper examines whether a subject's decisions in the ultimatum game played for multiple periods using the strategy method are affected by his or her partner's gender. We find that although there are some initial gender influences on behavior, these do not persist as subject behavior is systematically different in the first period than it is in later periods. In particular, subjects are significantly more likely to offer an even division of the pie in the first period, clustering on a focal distribution before exploring other offers. The differences between our results and the extant results in the literature underscore a need for careful replication of results dealing with gender differences.
