In a contest players compete for winning a prize by effort and thereby increasing their probability of winning. Contestants, however, could also improve their own relative position by harming the other players. We experimentally analyze contests with heterogeneous agents who may individually...

We introduce a generalized theoretical approach to study imitation models and subject the models to rigorous experimental testing. In our theoretical analysis we find that the different predictions of previous imitation models are due to different informational assumptions, not to different...

We report on an experiment in which subjects choose actions in strategic games with either strategic complements or substitutes against a granny, a game theorist or other subjects. The games are selected in order to test predictions on the comparative statics of equilibrium with respect to...

In this paper we introduce four new learning models: impulse balance learning, impulse matching learning, action …-sampling learning, and payoff-sampling learning. With this models and together with the models of self- tuning EWA learning and … reinforcement learning, we conduct simulations over 12 different 2×2 games and compare the results with experimental data obtained …
