We report two information cascade game experiments that directly test the impact of altruism on observational learning … opportunities to learn about the strategies played by observed which amplifies the impact of altruism on observational learning …

The paper investigates social-learning when the information structure is not commonly known. Individuals repeatedly … interact in social-learning settings with distinct information structures. In each round of interaction, they use their … behavior in the long-run if and only if individuals distinguish social-learning settings and receive rich feedback after each …

This paper examines social learning when only one of the two types of decisions is observable. Because agents arrive …, as in the standard model, learning is complete if and only if signals are unbounded. If signals are bounded, cascades may …

The … crux of this theory is that people remember their past decisions and the extrinsic rewards they received, but they do not … recall their intrinsic motives. In this paper I show that the SP theory can be modeled as a variant of a conventional dynamic …
