... Hence, the second and third Gaussians found in our study may each correspond to a level k ≥ 1, while the first Gaussian probably includes a substantial number of players with a level k = 0 (see Figs. 3C, 6B). Noteworthily, the suggested connection between our findings and level k theory should be further explored especially in view of findings indicating inconsistencies in the level k of players, even in the same game, which imply that the depth of reasoning is stochastic in nature [41,42]. ...

... We focus on widely released films (i.e. exhibited in at least 600 theaters in the U.S. during the opening weekend) since we have more information about them (Leung, Qi, and Yuan 2020). We also excluded IMAX movies due to their different exhibition pattern. ...

... This is also consistent with the fact that high taxation rates and payroll affect unemployment, because tax increases and high wages lead to an increase in product costs and enterprises' decreased competitiveness. As a result, the enterprise may downsize or go bankrupt, so some studies have attempted to provide direct evidence of the general equilibrium effect of the corporate income tax on unemployment using cross-country data (Stiglitz, 1999;Chen et al., 2018). Additionally, empirical studies have provided evidence that high corporate tax rates impact unemployment. ...

... A long literature has shown that, in many different situations, teams end up coordinating at inefficient outcomes (e.g., Van Huyck et al., 1990;Weber et al., 2001;Brandts and Cooper, 2006), and thus, failing to coordinate. Such coordination failure can be due to several reasons, but strategic uncertainty is an important factor making incentive contracts "fragile", particularly in environments presenting a weak-link property (Van Huyck et al., 1990;Cooper et al., 2018). This uncertainty arises when subjects find it too risky to exert a high-effort level (i.e., choosing the payoff-dominant effort), when they are not sure about their team members' strategies, while keeping in mind previous actions. ...

... Not all interventions are alike, however. For instance, Qi and Schlagenhauf (2018) document that the federal government and the four largest provinces in Canada spend almost half of the corporate income tax revenue. They are not incredibly successful due to dynamic effects, necessitating to raise taxes or cut program spending in the future. ...

The first category involves macroeconomic environment analysis, which posits that macro-level institutions and policy environments, including labor policies (Totty, 2017), tax policies (Chen et al., 2018), fiscal policies (Bredemeier et al., 2020;X.

... The main reform scenarios considered in World Bank (2020) assume that the additional revenue from the reform is used to finance a uniform decrease in the PIT rate. 62. Examples of studies considering the effect of reducing the difference in tax treatments between incorporated and unincorporated businesses include Carroll, Joulfaian (1997) and Chen et al. (2018) . Studies on the subject usually find that policies harmonizing these tax treatments have important positive effects on the number of unincorporated businesses deciding to incorporate, on their future growth prospects and on their contribution to net job creation. ...

... Fourth, experimental evidence on path dependence is mixed and uses different environments. [30,31] illustrated that coordination failure in minimum-effort games can be resolved by changes in financial incentives even without changing the equilibrium outcomes, implying that experience there has no decisive effect on future behavior. In a platform competition experiment, [32] tested the QWERTY phenomenon illustrating that subjects switch to a more efficient platform. ...
