An Exploration of Reputation Formation in Experimental Games

Author

  • Brandts, J.
  • Figueras, N.

Abstract

This paper presents results from experiments with finitely repeated games with complete and incomplete information. We use two treatment variables: the number of rounds the game is played and the value of the probability that reflects the presence of incomplete information.
