Modelling Social Learning in an Agent–Based Baseline Macro Model

Salle, Isabelle - 2014

We analyse the dynamics resulting from social learning in a simple general equilibrium (GE) model, whose structure is similar to the one underlying macroeconomic models of the New Macroeconomic Synthesis. The economy is composed by households and firms who exchange labour and consumption goods...

Confusion and learning in the voluntary contributions game

Bayer, Ralph-C.; Renner, Elke; Sausgruber, Rupert - 2012

We use a limited information environment to assess the role of confusion in the repeated voluntary contributions game. A comparison with play in a standard version of the game suggests, that the common claim that decision errors due to confused subjects biases estimates of cooperation upwards,...

Simultaneous over- and underconfidence : evidence from experimental asset markets

Maciejovsky, Boris; Kirchler, Erich - 2001

In this paper individual overconfidence within the context of an experimental asset market is investigated. Overall, 72 participants traded one risky asset on six markets of 12 participants each. The results indicate that individuals were not generally overconfident. Moreover, overconfidence was...

Voluntary Information Acquisition in an Asymmetric-Information Game : Comparing Learning Theories in the Laboratory

Wen, Yuanji - 2018

This paper uses an experimental design of voluntary information acquisition to assess the information assumptions of different learning models. The design is implemented in two-stage asymmetric-information games. Subjects' information-seeking behavior reveals that they tend to choose certain...

Multi-Media Learning and Experimental Economics Instructions

Candreva, Christopher - 2020

This paper examines the influence of pre-experiment tasks on subject understanding. It used a 2x2 design varying the … type of instructions and whether or not the pre-experiment quiz was incentivized. The Standard instructions were written …-Media Learning literature, which aims to find ways to maximize subject understanding from instruction. After the pre-experiment …

Machine learning to improve experimental design

Aufenanger, Tobias - 2017 - This version: September 2017

This paper proposes a way of using observational pretest data for the design of experiments. In particular, this paper trains a random forest on the pretest data and stratifies the allocation of treatments to experimental units on the predicted dependent variables. This approach reduces much of...
