Russell Cooper

In this course

Russell Cooper is an economist known for experimental work on equilibrium selection and coordination games, particularly in contexts where multiple equilibria create strategic uncertainty. His experimental data appears in these readings to ground behavioral models of how actual players deviate from classical equilibrium predictions, especially in the cognitive hierarchy framework where agents hold heterogeneous beliefs about others' rationality. The citations use Cooper's empirical findings to validate computational models that assume bounded rationality rather than perfect mutual consistency.
