Maximum entropy versus coordination, part 10191
From Evonomics:
Marwell and Ames found that most subjects divided their tokens nearly equally between the public and private accounts. Economics students, by contrast, invested only 20 percent of their tokens in the public fund, on average.
It's another case where a lack of coordination yields the maximum entropy result (equal probabilities to find a token in each of the two accounts), while coordination (groupthink, arising via education in economics) yields a lower entropy result.
Since entropy is output, the economist economy would perform worse than the regular human economy ...
