We study first- and second-order subjective expectations (beliefs) in strategic decision-making. We elicit … probabilistically both first- and second-order beliefs and apply the method to a Hide-and-Seek experiment. We study the relationship … comments collected at the end of the experiment shed light on how subjects think and decide in a complex environment that is …

Rational Expectations (RE) models have two crucial dimensions: (i) agents on average correctly forecast future prices given all available information, and (ii) given expectations, agents solve optimization problems and these solutions in turn determine actual price realizations. Experimental...

We study the informational role of prices in a stochastic environment. We provide a closed-form solution of the monopoly problem when the price imperfectly signals quality to the uninformed buyers. We then study the effect of noise on output, market price, information flows, and expected...
