Learning in experimental 2×2 games
Chmura, Thorsten; Goerg, Sebastian J.; Selten, Reinhard - In: Games and Economic Behavior 76 (2012) 1, pp. 44-73
In this paper, we introduce two new learning models: action-sampling learning and impulse-matching learning. These two models, together with the models of self-tuning EWA and reinforcement learning, are applied to 12 different 2×2 games and their results are compared with the results from...

How do judgmental overconfidence and overoptimism shape innovative activity?
Herz, Holger; Schunk, Daniel; Zehnder, Christian - In: Games and Economic Behavior 83 (2014) C, pp. 1-23
Recent field evidence suggests a positive link between overconfidence and innovative activities. In this paper we argue that the connection between overconfidence and innovation is more complex than the previous literature suggests. In particular, we show theoretically and experimentally that...
