Towards an Understanding of Cognitive Coordination: Theoretical Developments and Empirical Illustrations
探讨制度如何通过影响信念和预期来协调行为，重点分析类比在互动决策中的作用及其从经验中形成的过程，并用一个经验案例加以说明。
The cognitive dimension of institutions has been comparatively neglected in social science research. In particular, economists have concentrated on how institutions provide incentives. However, institutions also influence behaviours by influencing beliefs and expectations that help agents to overcome coordination problems. We explore various aspects of how institutions may align agents’ beliefs, concentrating on the role of analogies in interactive decision making, and how analogies grow from experience. We illustrate our reasoning by an empirical example.
