There are many important decision problems where learning through experimentation is costly or impossible. In these …. In this paper, we design an investment game which allows us to study the influence of selection when learning from others … degree of bias due to selection neglect increases when other decision makers become more informed, or become more rational …

They are too easily dissatisfied with their environment, which leads them to experiment in … variable environments and revise their self-confidence over time. In contrast, underconfident decision-makers might be trapped …
