We study how learning affects an uninformed monopolist's supply and investment decisions under multiplicative … the random demand. Observing prices reveals this information slowly. We first show how to incorporate Bayesian learning … of learning on supply and investment decisions, as well as the steady state level of capital. Our findings are as follows …
