摘要：
We introduce a two-person beauty contest game with a unique Nash equilibrium that is identical to the game with many players. However, iterative reasoning is unnecessary in the two-person game as choosing zero is a weakly dominant strategy. Despite this "easier" solution concept, we find that a large majority of players do not choose zero. This is the case even with a sophisticated subject pool. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
