Experimental evidence shows that the rational expectations hypothesis fails to characterize the path to equilibrium after an exogenous shock when actions are strategic complements. Under identical shocks, however, repetition allows adaptive learning, so that inertia in adjustment should fade...

This paper investigates the Harsanyi (1973)-purifiability of mixed strategies in the repeated prisoners' dilemma with perfect monitoring. We perturb the game so that in each period, a player receives a private payoff shock which is independently and identically distributed across players and...

modification of the available theory is needed: we need to relax the assumption that the game starts in a given period. Under this … actions or deviations have been played in the past. Hence, we suggest a way in which a player can build up his reputation …

A repeated game is where the stage game is repeated a number of times – the number of repetitions could be finite or infinite. We usually assume that (a) the stage game has a finite number of players, (b) for each player, the set of feasible actions for the stage game is finite, and (c) the...

This paper looks to see if departures from risk neutrality cause subjects to behave differently in randomly terminated supergames compared to infinitely discounted supergames. I show that if subjects have a strictly monotonic utility function, and that utility function is applied to their entire...

We design a transboundary public goods (TPG) game, in which participants have simultaneous interaction within and between groups. We design the TPG game under an infinitely repeated situation in order to explore the types of strategies that participants employ in infinitely repeated games. We...

We conducted a set of experiments to compare the effect of ambiguity in single person decisions and games. Our results suggest that ambiguity has a bigger impact in games than in ball and urn problems. We find that ambiguity has the opposite effect in games of strategic substitutes and...

We experimentally explore indefinitely repeated contests. Theory predicts more cooperation, in the form of lower … this result attenuates with contest experience. Theory also predicts more cooperation in indefinitely repeated contests … compared to finitely repeated contests of the same expected length, and we find empirical support for this. Finally, theory …
