Ignoring the rationality of others: evidence from experimental normal-form games
Two behavioral models of two-person normal-form game play are presented and estimated, using three experimental data sets. The models are variants of the Quantal Response Equilibrium model de...ned by McKelvey and Palfrey (1995, Games and Economic Behavior), but allow a player to hold inaccurate beliefs about the behavior of her opponent. Each model involves two parameters: One captures the pla...
متن کاملConsequentialism and Bayesian Rationality in Normal Form Games
In single-person decision theory, Bayesian rationality requires the agent first to attach subjective probabilities to each uncertain event, and then to maximize the expected value of a von Neumann–Morgenstern utility function (or NMUF) that is unique up to a cardinal equivalence class. When the agent receives new information, it also requires subjective probabilities to be revised according to ...

متن کاملLevel-n Bounded Rationality and Dominated Strategies in Normal-Form Games
Dominated strategies play a crucial role in game theory and its solution concepts. While empirical studies confirm that humans generally avoid dominated strategies, they also suggest that humans seldom believe others will avoid such strategies. Hence, the iterated dominance solution is not likely to be a good predictor of one-shot behavior. We investigate how the salience of a dominated strateg...
متن کاملInequalities between Others Do Matter: Evidence from Multiplayer Dictator Games
Social motives are frequently used to explain deviations from selfishness in non-strategic settings such as the Dictator Game. Previous research has mainly focused on two-player games; the workings of social motives in multiplayer Dictator Games are less well understood. A core feature of multiplayer games is that players can consider inequalities between others, in addition to outcomes that ha...
