The graphs enable us to answer an important question visually: when the Nash predictions are good approximations, is Poisson-CH almost as accurate? The answer appears to be yes, because there are few points with low Nash deviations and high…Gabaix, Xavier, and David Laibson, “A Boundedly Rational Decision Algorithm,” American Economic Review, XC (May 2000), 433–438.

In this course
Van Huyck appears primarily as a methodological reference in experimental game theory and behavioral economics research, though the excerpts provide limited direct engagement with his work. The citations suggest he's part of a scholarly conversation around bounded rationality and decision-making algorithms—areas where experimental design and empirical validation of theoretical predictions (like Nash equilibrium) intersect. His work likely informs how the course readings test computational and game-theoretic models against actual human behavior, a key concern in understanding how AI systems model decision-making in social and economic contexts.
