After a full round, the player, if any, who guesses correctly wins. Of course, rounds without a winner are also possible, in which case a new round is started afresh. The purpose of the present article is to present an analysis of this game (called Chinos in Spain, as a perturbation of \"chinas\", i.e. pebbles), and some of its possible variants. Our primary aim is to show its potential to shed light on some issues of strategic behavior and information transmission that seem very germane to some social and economic problems. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219525901000152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T11:00:37Z","timestamp":1027767637000},"page":"177-190","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["STRATEGIC BEHAVIOR AND INFORMATION TRANSMISSION IN A STYLIZED (SO-CALLED <i>CHINOS<\/i>) GUESSING GAME"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"04","author":[{"given":"LUIS","family":"PASTOR-ABIA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica-F\u00edsica, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"}]},{"given":"JOS\u00c9 M.","family":"P\u00c9REZ-JORD\u00c1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica-F\u00edsica, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"},{"name":"Unidad Asociada of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"}]},{"given":"EMILIO","family":"SAN-FABI\u00c1N","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica-F\u00edsica, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"},{"name":"Unidad Asociada of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"}]},{"given":"ENRIQUE","family":"LOUIS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento F\u00edsica Aplicada, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"},{"name":"Unidad Asociada of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"}]},{"given":"FERNANDO","family":"VEGA-REDONDO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Fundamentos del An\u00e1lisis Econ\u00f3mico and Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Econ\u00f3micas, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"},{"name":"Departament d'Econom\u00eda i Empresa, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_1","first-page":"847","volume":"87","author":"Anderson L.","year":"1997","journal-title":"American Economic Review"},{"key":"p_2","first-page":"724","volume":"88","author":"Avery C.","year":"1998","journal-title":"American Economic Review"},{"key":"p_3","first-page":"797","volume":"107","author":"Banerjee A.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Economics"},{"key":"p_4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/261849"},{"key":"p_5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-6419.1989.tb00056.x"},{"key":"p_7","first-page":"507","volume":"111","author":"Glaeser E.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Economics"},{"key":"p_9","first-page":"276","volume":"83","author":"Kahan M.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Virginia Law Review"},{"key":"p_13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.882963"},{"key":"p_15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2329120"}],"container-title":["Advances in Complex Systems"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1142\/S0219525901000152","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,6]],"date-time":"2019-08-06T20:28:46Z","timestamp":1565123326000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1142\/S0219525901000152"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2001,6]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02n03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,20]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2001,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1142\/S0219525901000152"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1142\/s0219525901000152","relation":{},"ISSN":["0219-5259","1793-6802"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0219-5259"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1793-6802"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2001,6]]}}}
