summary
This paper presents extensive behavioral evidence that training in economics may cause individuals to become less cooperative. They cite differences in the ultimatum game, charitable giving, and prisoner's dilemna across economists and non-economists, and note that these differences in prisoner's dilemna increase over time in individuals studying economics. Defection rates rates decrease over time for most college students but stay relatively constant for economics majors. Responses to a pair of ethical dilemnas also become less ethical after a semester course in economics that focuses on the "rationality".

summary
This paper argues that aggregate rationality from irrational participants may be recovered not from random deviations that cancel, nor from individual learning, nor from the robustness of double auctions, nor from selective pressures, but instead from strategic substitutability. Strategic complements will compromise collective rationality. The intuition behind this is that strategic complements incentivize further irrational behavior, while substitutes incentive corrective behavior. The paper then goes through some examples of behavioral evidence that inidividual rationality can become aggregate rationality under substitutes or irrationality under complements.
