This paper analyzes the effect of the availability of information about the payoff structure on the behavior of players … in a Common-Pool Resource game. Six groups of six individuals played a complete information game, while other six groups … played the same game but with no information about the payoff function. It will be shown that the patterns of investment …

This paper examines a mechanism of liquidity-preference fluctuations caused by changes in people's belief about a random liquidity shock. When observing the shock, they rationally update their belief so that the shock probability is higher; consequently they raise liquidity preference and reduce...

Previous research has shown that feedback about past performance has ambiguous effects on subsequent performance. We argue that feedback affects beliefs in different dimensions – namely beliefs about the level of human capital and beliefs about the ability to learn – and this may explain...

These priors yield posterior inferences that become more precise as more information becomes available. As information …
