Beliefs and Endogenous Cognitive Levels: An Experimental StudyMarina AgranovCalifornia Institute of Technology Elizabeth Potamitesaffiliation not provided to SSRN Andrew SchotterNew York University (NYU) - Department of Economics Chloe TergimanUniversity of British Columbia - Sauder School of Business January 1, 2012 Games and Economic Behavior, Forthcoming Abstract: In this paper we use a laboratory setting to manipulate our subjects’ beliefs about the cognitive levels of the players they are playing against. We show that in the context of the 2/3 guessing game, individual choices crucially depend on their beliefs about the level of others. Hence, a subject’s true cognitive level may be different than the one he exhibits in a game with the difference being attributed to his expectations about the sophistication of the players he is playing against.
