Although, under certainty almost all uninvolved participants distribute … resources equally, they exhibit remarkable heterogeneity in just allocations under uncertainty. Moreover, uninvolved …

We examine whether the ‘Level-k’ model of strategic behavior generates reliable cross-game predictions within an individual. We find no correlation in subjects’ estimated levels of reasoning across two families of games. Furthermore, estimating a higher level for Ann than Bob in one family...
