This paper is an empirical study, using new experimental data, of repeated game strategies in trust games; its goal is to identify strategies that people use in repeated games. We develop a strategy inference method that maps observed actions to a set of best fitting unobserved repeated game...

We introduce a methodology to infer players' unobserved multi-period strategies from their observed stage game actions in economic decision-making experiments. We use finite-state automata to model multi-period strategies by employing an algorithm that synthesizes a minimal state automaton from...

Although it is well known that trust is an important component of the fulfilment of incomplete contracts, less is known regarding how robust it is to past experiences. We present an experiment in which trust is required for transactions to occur, and nature provides a series of shocks along the...
