In our experiments, subjects played five entry games with no feedback. If the number of entrants was above (less than or equal to) $d$, the entrants earned 0 ($1); nonentrants earned $.50. Subjects also played 22 matrix games with mixed equ…Kovalchik, Stephanie, Colin F. Camerer, David M. Grether, Charles R. Plott, and John M.

Barry Sopher appears in the course readings primarily as an experimental economist studying decision-making behavior under uncertainty, particularly through laboratory games that test how subjects deviate from rational choice theory. His work on entry games and mixed-strategy equilibria provides empirical data on human behavioral patterns that challenge classical economic models, making him relevant to understanding how real agents (biological and potentially artificial) make decisions differently than purely rational actors would predict. This connects to the seminar's broader inquiry into how actual cognition—whether human or machine—operates outside idealized computational frameworks.
