16. Keynesian Beauty Contest

• The reason it is called a beauty contest game is because of the strong resemblance it bears to the newspaper beauty contests discussed by John Maynard Keynes (a famous English Economist) some 60 years ago - a collection of women’s faces would be printed in the newspaper, and the object of the game was to pick the ones that would be rated “prettiest”. So one should not vote for the faces he or she truly thought were prettiest, or even the ones he or she thought most people would think were prettiest, but the ones that one thought most people would think that most most people would think were the prettiest, or even at higher orders.


Practice

• Choose a number of print ads or TV commercials and settle on the best three advertisements doing the Keynesian Beauty Content in your class.

• How do you interpret the outcome?
