What Can Experimental Economists Learn from Cognitive Science?
Barry Sopher
Thursday, November 20, 2008, 12:00pm - 07:00pm
Rutgers University, Department of Economics
The talk will refer to three papers, each representative of a large body of historical and ongoing work in experimental economics.
(1) Individual decision making (Birchby, et al), where fundamental uncertainty looms large).
(2) Small group strategic interaction (Schotter and Sopher) where distributional concerns loom large.
(3) Large group coordination games (Chaudhuri, et al) where beliefs about beliefs loom large.

The talk will be based on papers, you can download from here with an eye to opportunities that might exist for a cognitive science approach to address the same questions.
