Using belief elicitation, the paper investigates the formation and the evolution of beliefs in a signalling game in which a common prior on Sender's type is not induced. Beliefs are elicited about the type of the Sender and about the strategies of the players. The experimental subjects often...

Economic theory has evolved without paying proper attention to behavioral approaches, especially to social, economic, and cognitive psychology. This has recently changed by including behavioral economics courses in many doctoral study programs. Although this new development is most welcome, the...

In this paper we introduce four new learning models: impulse balance learning, impulse matching learning, action …-sampling learning, and payoff-sampling learning. With this models and together with the models of self- tuning EWA learning and … reinforcement learning, we conduct simulations over 12 different 2×2 games and compare the results with experimental data obtained …
