I meant risk pricing in terms of discounting the value or utility of a given outcome based on its likelihood.

Do you have a link or suggestion of where I might find a formal definition of "risk pricing?"

Right, it's just that the term "risk pricing" is probably too broad. I'm not sure what it's referring to because it sounds like you could be talking about a stochastic discount factor or state price vector that discounts payoffs in different states by both the likelihood that that state occurs as well as other conditions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_prices

Perhaps you want to know about how risk aversion might change (so that the risk premium might change)?

roughly. If you play the game repeatedly (against different opponents), how long until memory fades, and prices return to "normal" for a given opponent, and how would that curve look?

<p>Have studies been done that demonstrate the limits of human memory on reputation in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma?</p>

<p>i.e. at what point (on average) does a player start to "forget" the actions of a previous opponent? </p>

Have you ever taken a course on human memory? I'm asking because "limits" is a term that someone who doesn't know anything would use. But that's not the major problem with your question. The question is actually about psychology not economic and so this is the wrong forum for it. "Cognative Sciences" is probably the best place for it.

I'm not sure what you mean by risk pricing, but because you mention a repeated game, you might find the following papers useful. They present some theory about repeated games in which players have limited memory.
