Belief Revision for Inductive Game Theory
Hasebe, Koji; Ishikawa, Ryuichiro - 2011
Inductive game theory captures how a player inductively derives his/her personal views from experiences. The player may have multiple views, some of which differ from the objective situation, but may revise them with further experiences. This paper gives a logical formulation of this revision...

Minimizing learning behavior in repeated real-effort tasks
Benndorf, Volker; Rau, Holger A.; Sölch, Christian - 2018
In this paper, we discuss learning behavior and the heterogeneity of subjects' ability to perform in real-effort tasks. Afterwards, we present a novel variant of Erkal et al.'s (2011) encryption real-effort task which aims to minimize learning behavior in repeated settings. In the task,...

Bargaining and Network Structure : An Experiment
Charness, Gary; Corominas-Bosch, Margarida; Fréchette, … - 2006
We consider bargaining in a bipartite network of buyers and sellers, who can only trade with the limited number of people with whom they are connected. Such networks could arise due to proximity issues or restricted communication flows, as with information transmission of job openings, business...

Pattern Recognition and Subjective Belief Learning in a Repeated Constant-Sum Game
Spiliopoulos, Leonidas - 2012
This paper aspires to fill a conspicuous gap in the literature regarding learning in games — the absence of empirical verification of learning rules involving pattern recognition. Weighted fictitious play is extended to detect two-period patterns in opponents’ behavior and to comply with the...
