Title: Weighting Competing Models (with H. Schneider)

 

Abstract:

We study how individuals update their beliefs in the presence of competing
data-generating processes, or models, that could explain observed data.
Through experiments, we identify the weights participants assign to
different models and find that the most common updating rule gives full
weight to the model that best fits the data. While some participants assign
positive weights to multiple models- consistent with Bayesian updating-they
often do so in a systematically biased manner. Moreover, these biases in
model weighting frequently lead participants to become more certain about a
state regardless of the data, violating a core property of Bayesian
updating.

Meeting slots are already fully booked:
