An individual is affected by the curse of knowledge when he fails to appreciate the viewpoint of a lesser-informed agent. In contrast to a rational person, the cursed individual behaves as if part of his private information were common knowledge. This systematic cognitive bias alters many...

Research has long documented how different forms of uncertainty, namely risk and ambiguity, influence decision making … uncertainty of potential outcomes. Some decisions may be social in nature where the uncertainty is generated by another person …, whereas other decisions may be non-social involving uncertainty that is generated by probabilistic mechanisms. While past …

In a laboratory experiment, we measure subjects' willingness to pay for a transparently useless decision right concerning the choice between two real effort tasks. We also elicit for each participant her change in beliefs about the likelihood of receiving her preferred task if she rather than...

This paper extends choice theory by allowing for the interaction between cognitive costs and imitative dynamics. The authors experimentally investigate the role of imitation when participants face a task which is costly in cognitive terms. In order to disentangle different choice dynamics, they...
