Albornoz, Facundo; Calvo-Pardo, Héctor; Corcos, Gregory; … - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2010

Firms need to incur substantial sunk costs to break in foreign markets, yet many give up exporting shortly after their first experience, which typically involves very small sales. Conversely, other new exporters shoot up their foreign sales and expand to new destinations. We investigate a simple...

Strategic experimentation with Poisson bandits

Rady, Sven; Keller, Godfrey - In: Theoretical Economics 5 (2010) 2

We study a game of strategic experimentation with two-armed bandits where the risky arm distributes lump-sum payoffs …, asymmetric equilibria in which players take turns playing the risky arm before all experimentation stops Pareto dominate the … where players experiment, but may reduce the intensity of experimentation at more optimistic beliefs. This suggests that …

Garfagnini, Umberto; Strulovici, Bruno - Center for Mathematical Studies in Economics and … - 2010

We analyze social learning and innovation in an overlapping generations model in which available technologies have correlated payoffs. Each generation experiments within a set of policies whose payoffs are initially unknown and drawn from the path of a Brownian motion with drift. Marginal...

Warren, Patrick; Wilkening, Tom - Department of Economics, Faculty of Business and Economics - 2010

Compared with other types of policy, regulation is very persistent, even when inefficient. We propose an explanation for regulatory persistence based on regulatory fog,the phenomenon by which regulation obscures information about the eects of deregulation. We construct a dynamic model of...
