The Absent-Minded Driver’s Paradox: Synthesis and Responses

چکیده
Ž . Ž The aim of our original paper, Piccione and Rubinstein 1997 P & R . from now on , was to point out that the model commonly used to describe a decision problem with imperfect recall suffers from major ambiguities in its interpretation. We claimed that several issues which were immaterial in decision problems with perfect recall may be of importance in the analysis of decision problems with imperfect recall. The issues that we raised can be summarized by the following questions:

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS WORKING PAPER SERIES Inducing Absent-Mindedness in the Lab
After years of neglect, Piccione and Rubinstein (1997a) re-examined the problem of imperfect recall and its implications for game theory. They introduced the notion of absent-mindedness through a decision-making problem called the absentminded driver's paradox. This simple game precipitated a vigorous discussion with different researchers having strong opinions about whether the paradox actuall...

متن کاملQuantum entanglement, indistinguishability, and the absent-minded driver’s problem
The absent-minded driver’s problem illustrates that probabilistic strategies can give higher pay-offs than deterministic ones. We show that there are strategies using quantum entangled states that give even higher pay-offs, both for the original problem and for the generalized version with an arbitrary number of intersections and any possible set of pay-offs. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملAbsent-Minded Drivers in the Lab: Testing Gilboa's Model
This note contributes to the discussion of decision problems with imperfect recall from an empirical point of view. We argue that, using standard methods of experimental economics, it is impossible to induce (or control for) absent–mindedness of subjects. Nevertheless, it is possible to test Gilboa’s (1997) agent–based approach to games with imperfect recall. We implement his model of the absen...
