Examples of payoffpayoff In general, this outcome will not maximize aggregate payoffs. In an adaptive learning model, individuals use the knowledge of these payoffs to form their expectations. The sub-game perfect equilibrium extraction paths (and payoffs) of the closed-loop solution incorporate both the stock and strategic externality. Each person's individual payoffs and accumulated payoffs were private information. Reported emissions fall because a higher tax raises the cost of compliance and thus increases the payoffs from tax evasion. The point of interest is the large inequity between the payoffs. The first two of these give the payoffs for taking one at the last free move. An individual must correctly perceive his own realized payoffs, but he need not realize that he interacts strategically with others. Although mutualistic payoffs might encourage participation in group hunts, these payoffs are only insured through rules of distribution that benefit participants. In order to address important issues that involve large sums of money, some psychologists advocate using high hypothetical payoffs. The latter leaves unanswered why "small" payoffs sometimes yield good results, and why increasing payoffs do not always yield better results. The other key variables they mention (scripts, repetition, and performance-based payoffs) seem to concern empirical issues, but deception is a different matter. The implication of his argument is that hypothetical payoffs may suffice to study people's decisions. In this framework it makes little sense to ask people to report preferences over outcomes in a game defined only by payoffs. I cannot hope to solve this problem, for unlike where rational payoffs are concerned, moral "payoffs" could never admit of any great precision.
