Abstract
Our research is a variant of the third party punishment game that we call Solomon's Game.

The aim of this experiment is to compare the human tendency to punish unfair behavior to the desire to help victims of that unfairness, in presence of a budget constraint and without the expectation of a long-run pecuniary gain
