Strategic decisions are increasingly delegated to algorithms. We extend the results of Waltman and Kaymak [2008] and Calvano et al. [2020b] to the context of dynamic optimization with imperfect monitoring by analyzing a setting where a limited number of agents use simple and independent...

A booming literature describes how artificial intelligence algorithms (AIAs) may autonomously learn to generate supra-competitive profits. Key to the widespread interpretation of the phenomena as ``collusion'', is the observation that the unilateral price cuts of an agent are followed by several...
