- Scope and content:
-
Material such as correspondence, experiment data (response sheets, tabulated responses, and printouts of data), statistical data analysis of results, participant instructions, and design notes for Battalio and Van Huyck's experiments on economic decision making and interactions. Data analysis was typically done with software, such as SAS, Stata, and Mathematica, and this series features a majority of the electronic records and audiovisual material.
Battalio and Van Huyck coded their experiments to indicate type and vintage (some experiments were conducted multiple times, presumably with extensions and modifications), and these codes are used as file titles when possible. The most frequently used codes are as follows: BB are beauty contest games inspired by Keynes's example of the workings of financial markets; C or CONV followed by a number are experiments on conventions; CR or CRAW followed by a number are coordination games; DEC followed by a letter and/or number or DX followed by a number are on decentralized allocation decisions; and PD followed by a number are peasant-dictator games. Codes appearing in this series also appear in the Articles and Book Chapters subseries, possibly allowing connections to be made between published writings and experiment files.
Organized into eight subseries: Average Opinion, Chaos, Conventions, Coordination, Decentralized Allocation, Peasant-Dictator, Other Experiments and Related Material, and Uncategorized Electronic Records.
