Agents with more experience make better choices. We measure learning dynamics using a panel with four million monthly … learning is not monotonic. Knowledge effectively depreciates about 10% per month, implying that learning displays a strong …

investigate this claim using a simple model of Bayesian learning. Two individuals with different priors observe the same infinite … implications for economic behavior in a range of circumstances. We illustrate how the type of learning outlined in this paper …

We examine how machine learning can be used to improve and understand human decision-making. In particular, we focus on … released. This is a promising machine learning application because it is a concrete prediction task for which there is a large … results suggest that while machine learning can be valuable, realizing this value requires integrating these tools into an …

In recent years, there has been widespread excitement around the potential for technology to transform learning. As … technologies from which to choose—from digital personalized learning platforms to educational games to online courses. Amidst the … technology: (1) access to technology, (2) computer-assisted learning, (3) technology-enabled behavioral interventions in …

Classroom peers are believed to influence learning by teaching each other, and the efficacy of this teaching likely …-to-peer teaching and ability tracking. While peer-to-peer teaching improves learning among low-ability subjects, the positive effects …

We compute system-wide measures using administrative data from the country of Colombia that link social security … and learning productivities are far from perfectly correlated, with private institutions receiving relatively higher … rankings under earning measures than under learning measures; 2) earning measures are significantly more correlated with …

We demonstrate that heat inhibits learning and that school air-conditioning may mitigate this effect. Student fixed … learning time. New nationwide, school-level measures of air-conditioning penetration suggest patterns consistent with such … infrastructure largely offsetting heat's effects. Without air-conditioning, a 1°F hotter school year reduces that year's learning by …
