Abstract

We consider a multi-game interactive learning environment and ask ourselves whether long run behaviors in one game are a¤ected by behaviors in the other, i.e whether there are learning spillovers. Our main …nding is that learning spillovers arise whenever the feedback provided to subjects about past play is not easily accessible game by game and thus subjects get a more immediate impression about aggregate distributions. In such a case, long run behaviors stabilize to an analogy-based expectation equilibrium (Jehiel 2005), thereby suggesting how one should broaden the notion of equilibrium to cope with learning spillovers.
