A large variety of social settings involve people repeatedly interacting with each other in the same strategic situation.. For example, firms play repeated games when competing, nations repeatedly interact on the international stage, and workers and employees repeatedly interact in the workplace. These repeated games have been analyzed by game theorists, who have developed a broad range of predictions. This project uses laboratory experiments to answer a series of questions about how well those theories predict actual behavior in controlled strategic settings.The first set of experiments examine how to infer strategies by observing decisions made by a specific participant. The second set investigates the role of renegotiation proofness in equilibrium selection. The third group of experiments test the ability of subjects to support cooperative outcomes when they interact in multiple domains at the same time. The last project tests a widely made assertion that participants play the same way in infinitely repeated games with discounting and in randomly terminated games.The project is intrinsically interdisciplinary, because the game theory methods and ideas being tested with the experiments are widely used in economics, political science, management, psychology, and sociology. The PI will be integrating this research effort into both graduate and undergraduate classes.

各种各样的社交环境涉及人们在同一战略状况下反复互动的人们。 这些重复的游戏已经由游戏理论家分析，他们已经开发了广泛的预测。 该项目使用实验室实验来回答有关这些理论如何在受控战略环境中预测实际行为的一系列问题。第一组实验检查如何通过观察特定参与者做出的决策来推断策略。 第二组研究了重新谈判证明在均衡选择中的作用。 第三组实验测试受试者同时在多个领域相互作用时支持合作结果的能力。 最后一个项目测试是一个广泛的断言，即参与者在无限重复的游戏中以折扣和随机终止游戏的方式发挥相同的作用。该项目本质上是跨学科的，因为通过实验进行了游戏理论方法和想法，在经济学，政治，管理，管理，心理学和社会学中广泛使用。 PI将将这项研究工作纳入研究生和本科课程。
