This table reports estimates and predictions from two specifications of the model with efficiency concerns accounting for cross subject heterogeneity in the value of . The analysis is conducted both by including all experimental rounds and by focusing on the last five repetitions only. Parameters are estimated through (6). Given the linear restriction , we only report estimates of . Confidence intervals are computed using an inversion of the likelihood-ratio statistic, at the 0.01 level, subject to parameter constraints.
