An Effectual Approach to International Entrepreneurship: Overlaps, Challenges, and Provocative Possibilities (2014, neutral): “In his dense yet powerful Nobel lecture, Vernon Smith repeatedly calls for counterfactual designs in the laboratory to better clarify the links between micro-behavior and macro-outcomes, and vice versa: Again, studying what is not helps us to understand what is (Smith, 2003, p. 486).”
The Psychology (and Economics) of Trust (2009, background): “Even behavior in experiments (in which participants remain anonymous) yields strong evidence for other-regarding behavior (Smith, 2003).”
Risk Aversion in the Laboratory (2008, background): “Our only point is that this consideration deserves more attention by economists interested in making claims about the general validity of EUT or any other model, echoing similar calls from others (Smith, 2003).”
Elements of trust: Risk and perspective-taking (2011, background): “Scores of experiments show that trust is a commonchoice, evenunder conditions of complete anonymity (Camerer, 2003; Smith, 2003).”
NEUROECONOMICS: A CRITICAL RECONSIDERATION (2008, background): “Smith (1991) provides an early attempt, still being pursued by Smith (2003, 2007), to re-”

The Biological and Evolutionary Logic of Human Cooperation (2005, background): “…has already offered a novel perspective in some work in economics (Burnham 1997; 2003; Burnham/McCabe/Smith 2000; McCabe 2003; McCabe/Smith 2001; Smith 2003) and politics (Johnson 2004; Rosen 2004) and we expect it will become centrally important to a fuller understanding of human cooperation…”
“Economic man” in cross-cultural perspective: Behavioral experiments in 15 small-scale societies (2005, background): “Similarly, the age of adult subjects has not turned up as an important predictor in any of our games, or among the handful of results from non-student populations in the U.S. (Carpenter, Burks, & Verhoogen, 2002; Smith, 2003).”
Heuristic decision making. (2011, neutral): “Ecological rationality: the study of ecological rationality investigates in which environments a given strategy is better than other strategies (better—not best—because in large worlds the optimal strategy is unknown)”
