Title: Purified Randomness? Testing Harsanyi’s Idea in the Lab
Abstract: We investigate Harsanyi’s purification idea for mixed-strategy play in a simple (two-player normal-form) Bayesian game with two-sided private payoff perturbations. Using data from a laboratory experiment, we test if, as suggested by Harsanyi, subjects play a pure strategy in the perturbed games. Furthermore, we are the first who explicitly test cut-off strategies in Bayesian games.
