Abstract
In joint actions, individual actors prioritise the efficiency of the joint action even if this means being individually inefficient. However, it is not known whether fairness plays a role in these decisions. We present a paradigm that explores whether participants prioritise efficiency when efficient options require unfair task distributions.
