An eye-tracking study of feature-based choice in one-shot games
Devetag, Giovanna; Di Guida, Sibilla; Polonio, Luca - 2013
We analyze subjects' eye movements while they make decisions in a series of one-shot games. The majority of them perform a partial and selective analysis of the payoff matrix, often ignoring the payoffs of the opponent and/or paying attention only to specific cells. Our results suggest that...

How mindless is standard economics really?
Schipper, Burkhard - 2009
Contrary to claims by Gul and Pesendorfer (2008), I show that standard economics makes use of non-choice evidence in a meaningful way. This is because standard economics solely grounded in the theory of choice is "incomplete". That is, it has content that can not be revealed with any general...

Self-selection into economics experiments is driven by monetary rewards
Abeler, Johannes; Nosenzo, Daniele - 2013
Laboratory experiments have become a wide-spread tool in economic research. Yet, there is still doubt about how well the results from lab experiments generalize to other settings. In this paper, we investigate the self-selection process of potential subjects into the subject pool. We alter the...
