This paper shows that price rigidity evolves in an economy populated by imperfectly rational agents who experiment with alternative rules of thumb. In the model, firms must set their prices in face of aggregate demand shocks. Their payoff depends on the level of aggregate demand, as well as on...

We study the idea that seemingly unrelated behavioral biases can coevolve if they jointly compensate for the errors that any one of them would give rise to in isolation. We suggest that the "endowment effect" and the "winner's curse" could have jointly survived natural selection together. We...

This paper tries to connect the theory of genetic algorithm (GA) learning to evolutionary game theory. It is shown that … economic learning via genetic algorithms can be described as a specific form of evolutionary game. It will be pointed out that … GA learning results in a series of near Nash equilibria which during the learning process build up to finally reach a …

This survey discusses behavioral and experimental macroeconomics emphasizing a complex systems perspective. The economy consists of boundedly rational heterogeneous agents who do not fully understand their complex environment and use simple decision heuristics. Central to our survey is the...

In this paper we investigate how cognitive ability and character skills influence behavior, success and the evolution … understand better how subjects with different cognitive abilities learn differently, we estimate a structural model of learning … ability to that of character skills, and find that both cognition and personality affect behavior and learning. More agreeable …
