Middlebury College Working Paper Series from Middlebury College, Department of Economics

Abstract: We compare Colman's proposed "psychological game theory" with the existing literature on psychological games (Geanakoplos, Pearce and Stachetti 1989), in which beliefs and intentions assume a prominent role. We also discuss the experimental evidence on intentions, with a particular emphasis on reciprocal behavior, as well as some recent efforts to show that such behavior is consistent with social evolutions.
