演講摘要 : We present laboratory experiments that produce behavioral spillovers across strategic contexts. When subjects play two distinct games simultaneously with different opponents, behavior is highly context dependent. When games are paired in ensembles, play differs from the isolated controls. Behavior is also influenced by which other game composes the ensemble. These results suggest that people do not treat each strategic situation in isolation but instead develop heuristics that they apply across games. Our findings imply that the effect of a particular institution on behavior depends upon the full institutional context, leading to disparate performance of identical institutions in different cultures.
