We analyse the consumption strategy of a dynamically inconsistent individual for goods that provide an immediate benefit and a delayed cost. The agent has incomplete information on the cost inherent to each unit of consumption and partially learns this value anytime he consumes. We show that, by...

We introduce learning into a Hotelling model of a non-renewable resource market. By combining learning and scarcity we … add significantly to the dynamics implied by learning and substantially enhance the volatility of commodity prices. In our … learning model we show how a self confirming equilibrium exists but is not constant over time. As scarcity increases the SCE …

We study dynamic moral hazard where principal and agent are symmetrically uncertain about job difficulty. Since effort is unobserved, shirking leads the principal to believe that the job is hard, increasing the agent's continuation value. So deterring shirking requires steeper incentives, which...
