Two boxing is not the rational option (2015)
Journal Article
Noonan, H. (in press). Two boxing is not the rational option. Ratio, 29(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/rati.12093

In the standard Newcomb scenario two-boxing is not the rational act and, in general, in Newcomb-style cases the ‘two-boxing’ choice is not the rational act. Hence any decision theory which recommends two-boxing is unacceptable.
