Theories of Team Reasoning

We-thinking theories allow groups to deliberate as agents. They have been introduced in- to the economic domain for both theoretical and empirical reasons The idea of we-thinking, or we- reasoning, is increasingly drawing the attention of more and more economists. Within this body of li- terature, Robert Sugden and Michael Bacharach ha- ve developed analytical frameworks from an eco- nomic point of view. The main claim of scholars that analyze we-thinking is that it can be endorsed by people when they face a decision problem. In fact, experimental evidence shows that, especially in some kind of games, such as coordination games, people do endorse we-thinking. However, the way in which we-thinking arises and how it brings people to behave in a particular way in games is a matter that requires further investigation.
