Abstract: We review the experimental learning in games literature, and identify avenues for behavioral mechanism design and information design. The focus of this review will be on recent results that investigate the effects of individuals receiving new feedback and new information and as it affects the behavior of humans in dynamic environments involving other humans and algorithms. These dynamic environments include games as used to model technology adoption problems, etc.
