通过一个序贯纳什要价博弈实验,研究人们是否会做出看似反直觉但战略上最优的信息回避承诺,发现被试需要大量时间才能学会这种战略承诺。

Abstract

Abstract Game theory predicts that players make strategic commitments that may appear counter-intuitive. We conducted an experiment to see if people make a counter-intuitive but strategically optimal decision to avoid information. The experiment is based on a sequential Nash demand game in which a responding player can commit ahead of the game not to see what a proposing player demanded. Our data show that subjects do, but only after substantial time, learn to make the optimal strategic commitment. We find only weak evidence of physical timing effects.
