Thanks Stephen and all the others for organizing this wonderful event! In 2012, IAREP and SABE will take a short break from joint conferences (after a long sequence of joint conferences – Rome 2008, Halifax 2009, Cologne 2010 and Exeter 2011). IAREP will have a conference in Wroclaw, Poland on September 5-8, whereas SABE will hold its conference in Granada, Spain on July 12-15. Then in 2013 the plan is to meet again for a joint SABE/IAREP/ICABEEP conference in Atlanta, US. In addition, we also continue to have joint workshops, on which you can see more details in another item in the newsletter. The impact factor of the Journal of Economic Psychology for 2010 was published and shows that the jump from 2008 to 2009 reflects a stable increase in the journal’s impact. To realize just how good these impact factors (of 1.36-1.47) are compared to other economics journals, notice that in 2009 JoEP ’s impact factor was higher than that of top economics journals such as the Journal of the European Economic Association ; Rand Journal of Economics ; Games and Economic Behavior ; European Economic Review ; Journal of Economic Theory ; and the International Economic Review . In 2010 the impact factor exceeded that of top journals such as the Rand Journal of Economics ; Economica ; European Economic Review ; Journal of Economic Theory ; Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control ; and Kyklos . There is no doubt that the former Editors, Gerrit Antonides and Daniel Read, did a great job, and now the current Editors, Erik Hoelzl and Erich Kirchler, continue to develop the journal and I am sure this will be reflected in high impact factors in the following years. I hope that researchers in economic psychology in general and IAREP members in particular will continue to submit their best papers to the Journal or Economic Psychology , which is affiliated with IAREP as you probably know. Finally, I want to invite those of you who want to contribute to IAREP to submit their nomination to become the new IAREP Newsletter Editor. After four years of editing the newsletter (in two of which I also served as IAREP Honorary Secretary and webmaster), I am stepping down from this position in 2012 (the next newsletter, around May 2012, will be my last one, and the new editor will take over in the November 2012 newsletter). If you want information about the job before submitting your nomination feel free to contact me. All the best, Ofer 4 IAREP newsletter November 2011 From the President's Chair David Leiser Dear Friends, A few months have already passed since the superbly organized conference at Exeter, under the able guidance of Stephen Lea. I would like to thank you for your trust in electing me to serve as President. Economic Psychology and Behavioral Economics have come a long way since our Association was founded. Recognition of the pivotal interaction between our component disciplines was gradual, and over the last couple of years its importance has become clear to academics and decision makers alike, especially against the background of the crises the world economies are traversing. IAREP must continue to focus on two goals: promoting our discipline, and serving as a resource and catalyst for progress. Several changes may help here. We are currently working on the design for a revamped site for IAREP that will better serve our

    Introduction to Special Issue on Psychological Game Theory Martin Dufwenberg & Amrish Patel

    JEBO special issue on Psychological Game Theory Guest editors: Martin Dufwenberg & Amrish Patel Introduction to Special Issue on Psychological Game Theory Martin Dufwenberg & Amrish Patel What’s your favourite article? Ours is “Psychological games and sequential rationality,” written by John Geanakoplos, David Pearce & Ennio Stacchetti (1989) (GPS). The authors point out that classical game theory, where utilities depend only on actions, isn’t a rich enough toolbox to capture a variety of psychological or social aspects of motivation. Yitzhak Gilboa & David Schmeidler (1988) reach similar insights. GPS address the issue via a new mathematical framework – psychological game theory – in which utilities are defined on beliefs (about actions and beliefs) as well as on actions. For an indication why this is special, recall GPS’ opening example: Think of a two-person game in which only player 1 moves. Player 1 has two options: she can send player 2 flowers, or she can send chocolates. She knows that 2 likes either gift, but she enjoys surprising him. Consequently, if she thinks player 2 is expecting flowers (or that he thinks flowers more likely than chocolates), she sends chocolates, and vice versa. No equilibrium in pure strategies exists. In the unique mixed strategy equilibrium, player 1 sends each gift with equal probability. Note that in a traditional finite game with only one active player, there is always a pure strategy Nash equilibrium. That this is untrue in psychological games demonstrates the impossibility of analyzing such situations merely by modifying the payoffs associated with various outcomes […]. Matthew Rabin realized that GPS’ framework is useful for modelling reciprocity, the inclination to be kind to those who are kind and to avenge those who are unkind.

  • Range Effects in Multi-Attribute Choice: an Experiment

    Range Effects in Multi-Attribute Choice: an Experiment

    Range Effects in Multi-Attribute Choice: An Experiment∗ Tommaso Bondi,y D´anielCsaba,z and Evan Friedmanx November 9, 2018 Abstract Several behavioral theories suggest that, when choosing between multi-attribute goods, choices are context-dependent. Two theories provide such predictions explicitly in terms of attribute ranges. According to the theory of Focusing (K}oszegiand Szeidl[2012]), attributes with larger ranges receive more attention. On the other hand, Relative thinking (Bushong et al. [2015]) posits that fixed differences look smaller when the range is large. It is as if attributes with larger ranges are over- and under-weighted, respectively. Since the two theories make opposing predictions, it is important to understand which features of the environment affect their relative prevalence. We conduct an experiment designed to test for both of these opposing range effects in different environments. Using choice under risk, we use a two-by-two design defined by high or low stakes and high or low dimensionality (as measured by the number of attributes). In the aggregate, we find evidence of focusing in low-dimensional treatments. Classifying subjects into focusers and relative thinkers, we find that focusers are associated with quicker response times and that types are more stable when the stakes are high. ∗We thank seminar audiences at both NYU and Columbia, as well as the SWEET Conference 2018 participants, for insightful comments. We are grateful to Hassan Afrouzi, Ala Avoyan, Andrew Caplin, Alessandra Casella, Mark Dean, Guillaume Fr´echette, Alessandro Lizzeri and Andrew Schotter for useful suggestions, and to the Columbia Experimental Laboratory in the Social Sciences for financial support.
