We investigate the effects of information feedback in rent-seeking games with two different contest structures. In the deterministic contest a contestant receives a share of the rent equal to her share of rent-seeking expenditures, while in the stochastic contest a contestant wins the entire...

Saddlepath learning occurs when agents know the form but not the coefficients of the sad?dlepath relationship defining … rational expectations equilibrium. Under saddlepath learning, we obtain a completely general relationship between determinacy … system is determinate, we show that a learning process based on the saddlepath is always e-stable.

We present a decision theoretic framework in which agents are learning about market behavior and that provides … microfoundations for models of adaptive learning. Agents are 'internally rational', i.e., maximize discounted expected utility under … discounted sum of dividends. As a result, learning about price behavior affects market outcomes, while learning about the …

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

Saddlepath learning occurs when agents learn adaptively using a perceived law of motion that has the same form as the … saddlepath relationship in rational expectations equilibrium.  Under saddlepath learning, we obtain a completely general … information.  When the system is determinate, we show that a learning process based on the saddlepath is always e-stable.  When …
