‘Noise’ in this study, in the sense of evolutionary game theory, refers to deviations from prevailing behavioral rules.

This empirical analysis complements a growing theoretical literature on ‘how noise matters’ for equilibrium selection. We find that the vast majority of decisions () constitute myopic best responses, but deviations continue to occur with probabilities that are sensitive to their
