Suppose that we have a two player game in which we want to test experi
mentally whether the subjects learn to play the game theoretic solutio
n. For this purpose we need a matching scheme which assures that a rat
ional subject behaves in each round of the experiment as if he played
a separate stage game. In this paper we show that such a 'best-reply-s
tructure-preserving matching scheme' has to be free of repercussion ef
fects, and that the rotation of two equally sized groups of subjects,
which was introduced by Cooper, DeJong, Forsythe and Ross, solves the
problem efficiently.
