Its important because Camerer and others have cited Kahneman's bewilderment at convergence in the market entry game, or what he calls the N* game. Besides summarizing the market entry results---in which psychologists are subverted by economics---he describes reluctance to trade and other cases of economists being subverted by psychology. The paper is short and sweet; full of lots of other good quotes. For example, he succinctly asserts a claim that Gode and Sunder fleshed out a decade: "Robots programmed to obey simple dominance would establish the optimal market price."
