Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this research project is to establish the framework of behavioral and learning models of economic agents by theoretical, computational and experimental approach. For this purpose, the researcher takes up a game called Lowest Unique Integer Game where N players submit a positive integer up to M and the one whose choice is the lowest but unique is the winner. Then the researcher collects and analyzes the behavioral data from computer simulation and laboratory experiment, makes comparison between conventional learning models, and proposes a couple of learning models to better explain the actual individual behavior.
