Topics that came up at ASPA, part 1.

I'm looking over my notes from APSA, highlighting papers, ideas, etc. that looked worth passing along. As usual, some of these were new to me, and others are just worth knowing about.

From a section on game theory and experimentation:

• Quantal response equilibrium
• Experience-weighted attraction
• Beauty contests and level-k reasoning
• "Strategic Information Transmission," Crawford and Sobel
• z-tree software for economic experiments
• Maskin and Tirole on pandering in democracy
• A Behavioral Theory of Elections, by Bendor, Diermeier, and Siegel
• A Handbook of Experimental Economics, Roth
• Groves-Ledyard mechanism
• Cyert-March rule
• Predictably Irrational, Ariely
• Global Games
• Ecological rationality
