  Conducimos un test apropiado de la aseveración de que la gente es sobreconfiada, en el sentido de que ellos creen que son mejores que otros. Los resultados del experimento que presentamos no nos permite rechazar la hipótesis de que los datos han sido generados por agentes perfectamente racionales, insesgados, y apropiadamente confiados.

  We conduct a proper test of the claim that people are overconfident, in the sense that they believe that they are better than others. The results of the experiment we present do not allow us to reject the hypotheses that the data has been generated by perfectly rational, unbiased, and appropriately confident agents.
