learning transfers to new games. Current theories of learning model learning as adjustment in behavior in response to feedback … about outcomes and payoffs and largely ignore the possibility that learning may take place in the absence of such feedback … feedback between plays of the game. However, this previous work demonstrates this "no-feedback" learning using a special game …

Psychologists have long recognized two kinds of learning: one that is relatively shallow and domain-specific; and … recently considered this distinction, and the conditions that stimulate the latter kind of “meaningful” learning in games are … still unclear. Three experiments demonstrate that meaningful learning – the acquisition of the principle of iterated …

We study how the willingness to enter long-term bilateral relationships affects cooperation even when parties have little information about each other, ex ante, and cooperation is otherwise unenforceable. We experimentally investigate a finitely-repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma, allowing players to...

Efficiently growing a group or firm often requires integration of individuals from lower-performing entities. We explore the effectiveness of two policies intended to facilitate such integration, using a laboratory experiment that models production as a coordination game with Pareto-ranked...

We study the effectiveness of leaders for inducing coordinated organizational change to a more efficient equilibrium, i.e., a turnaround. We compare communication from leaders to incentive increases and also compare the effectiveness of randomly selected and elected leaders. While all...

We study whether leaders influence the unethical conduct of followers. To avoid selection issues present in natural environments, we use a laboratory experiment in which we form groups and assign leadership roles at random. We study an environment in which groups compete, with dishonest behavior...
