We have been compiling an incomplete, biased, and ill-written review of this literature. Wh...

Equilibrium dynamics may result in a perverse situation where most individuals reluctantly act in a way they mistakenly believe is cooperative, a situation known as ‘pluralistic ignorance’. Strong beliefs over others’ views increases...

This paper examines how different social groups understand the role of regulations and other public health interventions in a...
