Data-driven predictions are often perceived as inaccurate in hindsight due tobehavioral responses. We consider the role of interface design choices on howindividuals respond to predictions presented on a shared information display ina strategic setting. We introduce a novel staged experimental design toinvestigate the effects of interface design features, such as the visualizationof prediction uncertainty and prediction error, within a repeated congestiongame. In this game, participants assume the role of taxi drivers and use ashared information display to decide where to search for their next ride. Ourexperimental design endows agents with varying level-$k$ depths of thinking,allowing some agents to possess greater sophistication in anticipating thedecisions of others using the same information display. Through several largepre-registered experiments, we identify trade-offs between displays that areoptimal for individual decisions and those that best serve the collectivesocial welfare of the system. Additionally, we note that the influence ofdisplay characteristics varies based on an agent's strategic sophistication. Weobserve that design choices promoting individual-level decision-making can leadto suboptimal system outcomes, as manifested by a lower realization ofpotential social welfare. However, this decline in social welfare is offset bya slight reduction in distribution shift, narrowing the gap between predictedand realized system outcomes. This may enhance the perceived reliability andtrustworthiness of the information display post hoc. Our findings pave the wayfor new research questions concerning the design of effective predictioninterfaces in strategic environments.
