Beliefs, Learning, and Personality in the Indefinitely Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma

Gill, David; Rosokha, Yaroslav - 2022

We aim to understand the role and evolution of beliefs in the indefinitely repeated prisoner’s dilemma (IRPD). To do so, we elicit beliefs about the supergame strategies chosen by others. We find that heterogeneity in beliefs and changes in beliefs with experience are central to understanding...
