Pragmatic Beliefs and Overconfidence∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several studies indicate that humans are overconfident about their own (relative) abilities. We propose a notion of pragmatic beliefs, and show through an example that this concept can shed light on why overconfidence emerges. Through the example, we also shed light on the idea that that ’bounded rationality’ may arise endogenously in a game without assuming complexity costs. JEL codes: B41, C78, J30.

Do Overconfident Workers Cooperate Less? The Relationship between Overconfidence and Cooperation in Team Production
The tendency to underestimate others’ relative performance compared to one’s own is widespread among individuals in all work environments. We examine the relationship between, and the driving forces behind, individual overconfidence and voluntary cooperation in team production. Our experimental data suggest an indirect and gender-specific link: Overconfident men hold more optimistic beliefs abo...
متن کاملAn Unlucky Feeling: Persistent Overestimation of Absolute Performance with Noisy Feedback
How does overconfidence arise and persist in the face of experience and feedback? We examine experimentally how individuals’ beliefs about their absolute, as opposed to relative, performance on a quiz react to noisy, but unbiased, feedback. Participants believe themselves to have received ‘unlucky’ feedback and they overestimate their own scores, but they exhibit no overconfidence in non-ego-re...
متن کاملTrouble with Overconfidence 1 Running head: TROUBLE WITH OVERCONFIDENCE The Trouble with Overconfidence
This paper presents a reconciliation of the three distinct ways in which the research literature has defined overconfidence: (1) overestimation of one’s actual performance, (2) overplacement of one’s performance relative to others, and (3) excessive precision in one’s beliefs. Experimental evidence shows that reversals of the first two (apparent underconfidence), when they occur, tend to be on ...
متن کاملA Model of Overconfidence
A Model of Overconfidence People use information about their ability to choose tasks. If more challenging tasks provide more accurate information about ability, people who care about and who are risk averse over their perception of their own ability will choose tasks that are not sufficiently challenging. Overestimation of ability raises utility by deluding people into believing that they are m...
متن کاملOverconfidence and Social Signalling
Evidence from both psychology and economics indicates that individuals give statements that appear to overestimate their ability compared to that of others. We test three theories that predict such relative overconfidence. The first theory argues that overconfidence can be generated by Bayesian updating from a common prior and truthful statements if individuals do not know their true type. The ...
