In many social interactions, however, we refrain from gathering all relevant information, even if this information would help us make better decisions and is costless to obtain. This chapter examines several examples of “deliberate ignorance.” Two simple models are proposed to illustrate how ignorance can evolve among self-interested and payoff - maximizing individuals, and open problems are highlighted that lie ahead for future research to explore.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2021","title":"The evolution of strategic ignorance in strategic interaction","_id":"9403","status":"public","oa":1,"type":"book_chapter","quality_controlled":"1","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"KrCh"}],"publication":"Deliberate Ignorance: Choosing Not To Know","oa_version":"Published Version","date_updated":"2023-02-23T13:57:04Z","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-0-262-04559-9"]},"author":[{"last_name":"Schmid","first_name":"Laura","id":"38B437DE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-6978-7329","full_name":"Schmid, Laura"},{"full_name":"Hilbe, Christian","first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Hilbe"}],"date_created":"2021-05-19T12:25:42Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"01","publisher":"MIT Press","page":"139-152","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","citation":{"mla":"Schmid, Laura, and Christian Hilbe. “The Evolution of Strategic Ignorance in Strategic Interaction.” <i>Deliberate Ignorance: Choosing Not To Know</i>, edited by Ralph Hertwig and Christoph Engel, vol. 29, MIT Press, 2021, pp. 139–52.","short":"L.
