An Under-Shooting Bias in Asymmetric Resource Problems
People are often faced with choices between accounts or options with more and fewer resources. We introduce a Two-Account Game to study asymmetric resource-competition problems and discover a systematic under-shooting bias. People tend to choose fewer-resource options, partly because they incorrectly assume others will choose the option with more resources.
