We conduct a field experiment in which highly-ranked chess players play the centipede game in a natural setting. This game represents one of the main paradoxes of backward induction. In the experiment two players alternately are faced with the decision of either taking an exponentially growing...

Suppose an agent chooses by proceeding through a sequence of criteria: for any pair of alternatives the first criterion that ranks the pair determines the agent's choice. Given any constraint on the capacity of the criteria to discriminate, choices that maximize complete and transitive...

underlying Slutsky matrix norm (SMN) and some popular discrete revealed preference (RP) measures of departures from rationality …, such as the Afriat index. We show that testing rationality in the SMN aproach with finite data is equivalent to testing it … under the RP approach. We propose a way to “summarize” the departures from rationality in a systematic fashion in finite …

The behavioral assumptions upon which Public Choice, and Game Theory are built, are false. This may not seem to be ‘too serious’ since many theories are only approximations. But a broad spectrum of experimental results has shown the problem to be greater than one of workable...
