Ambiguous games: evidence for strategic ambiguity aversion.
The problem of ambiguity in games is discussed, and a class of ambiguous games is identified. A total of 195 participants played strategic-form games of various sizes with unidentified co-players. In each case, they first chose between a known-risk game involving a co-player indifferent between strategies and an equivalent ambiguous game involving one of several co-player types, each with a dif...
متن کاملAmbiguity Aversion in Game Theory: Experimental Evidence
This paper studies games with ambiguity averse agents, focusing on the relationship between preferences, beliefs over opponent’s preferences, and behaviour in normal form games. Using a carefully chosen 3×2 normal form game we find that a subject’s risk and ambiguity preferences affect the subject’s behaviour in normal form games in the direction suggested by economic theories. In contrast, we ...
متن کاملAmbiguity and Ambiguity Aversion
Consider the following choice problem, known as “Ellsberg’s three-color urn example”, or simply the “Ellsberg Paradox” (Ellsberg [7]). An urn contains 30 red balls, and 60 green and blue balls, in unspecified proportions; subjects are asked to compare (i) a bet on a red draw vs. a bet on a green draw, and (ii) a bet on a red or blue draw vs. a bet on a green or blue draw. If the subject wins a ...
متن کاملAmbiguity aversion, games against nature, and dynamic consistency
Several papers, adopting an axiomatic approach to study decision making under ambiguity aversion, have produced conflicting predictions about how decision makers would behave in simple dynamic urn problems. We explore the concepts of ambiguity aversion and dynamic consistency, with examples of dynamic games against nature. Basically, a malevolent nature puts balls into the urn, and a fair natur...
متن کاملAn Ambiguity Aversion Framework of Security Games under Ambiguities
Security is a critical concern around the world. Since resources for security are always limited, lots of interest have arisen in using game theory to handle security resource allocation problems. However, most of the existing work does not address adequately how a defender chooses his optimal strategy in a game with absent, inaccurate, uncertain, and even ambiguous strategy profiles’ payoffs. ...
