expecon-theory-model

separate

Use when turning the behavioral or game-theoretic argument behind an Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscript into pre-specified, testable predictions. Develops the hypotheses tested; it does not run estimation or invent citations.

When to use

• turning behavioral or game-theoretic arguments into pre-specified, testable predictions
• developing hypotheses for Experimental Economics manuscripts
• stating which model predicts what in each treatment
• distinguishing competing accounts like selfishness, inequity aversion, and reciprocity
• deriving equilibrium or point predictions for pre-analysis plans
• calibrating parameters so models separate
• pre-specifying directional hypotheses
• handling noise explicitly in predictions

When not to use

• running estimation
• inventing citations
• providing new theorems
• structural estimation identification
