Rule learning posits that decision makers, rather than choosing over actions, choose over behavioral rules with …. Past works on rule learning have shown that when playing a single game over a number of rounds, players can learn to form … sophisticated beliefs about others. Here we are interested in learning that occurs between games where the set of actions is not …

Consumer prices in many markets are persistently dispersed both across retail outlets and over time. While the cross sectional distribution of prices is stable, individual stores change their position in the distribution over time. It is a challenge to model oligopolistic price adjustment to...

The objective of this paper is to design a laboratory experiment for an infinite-horizon sequential committee search model in order to test some of the implications obtained by the model in Albrecht et al. (2010) (AAV). We find that, compared with single-agent search, the search duration is...

We explore gender differences in trust and trustworthiness between male and female individuals and groups consisting of two members of the same sex to understand if single sex groups behave differently from individuals of the same sex. We find some differences in the early rounds such as: (i)...

An important issue in the study of asset market bubbles is the extent to which traders are influenced by their perceived performance relative to other traders. Extant research on laboratory asset market bubbles has generally kept performance information private, effectively excluding such...
