This paper reports experiments designed to study strategic sophistication, the extent to which behavior in games reflects attempts to predict others' decisions, taking their incentives into account. Subjects played normal-form games with various patterns of iterated dominance and unique...

Using data on one-shot games, we investigate the assumption that players respond to underlying expectations about their opponent’s behavior. In our laboratory experiments, subjects play a set of 14 two-person 3x3 games, and state first order beliefs about their opponent’s behavior. The sets...

Using data on one-shot games, we investigate whether players' actions can be viewed as responses to underlying expectations about their opponent's behavior. In our laboratory experiments, subjects play a set of 14 two-person 3x3 games, and state beliefs about which actions they expect their...
