Abstract

As Camerer makes clear, 'the goal is not to ´disprove´game theory (a common reaction of psychologists and sociologists) but to improve it by establishing regularity, which inspires new theory' (pp.20/21. Correspondingly, throughout the book Camerer´s method is to review dozens of experiments, to identify behavioral regularities that can be extracted from them, and then to confront these regularities with the sharp predictions of canonical game theory
