Spanish Abstract- A finales del siglo XX despuntan nuevos paradigmas en las relaciones interorganizativas, tomado mayor auge las alianzas estratégicas y en especial las joint ventures y los acuerdos de cooperación. A través de estas formas de gestión, las partes implicadas (partners) tienen...

The increasing pervasiveness of social networks allows users to share purchase behaviors with their online friends. In the present study, we examine optimal pricing strategies of a monopolistic firm using an analytical model that accounts for behavioral observational learning in social networks....

Why are some people more optimistic about their life than others? Literature on locus of control suggests that optimism is associated with the belief that one’s life outcomes are controlled by internal factors, such as ability, instead of external factors, such as powerful others or...

This article aims to test the relevance of learning through Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Learning Classifier Systems (LCS), in opposition with fixed R&D rules, in a simplified version of the evolutionary industry model of Nelson and Winter. These three R&D strategies are compared from the points...

We study social learning and innovation in an overlapping generations model, emphasizing the trade-off between marginal innovation (combining existing technologies) and radical innovation (breaking new ground). We characterize both short-term and long-term dynamics of innovation, and the...

Learning or experience curves are widely used to estimate cost functions in manufacturing modeling. They have recently been introduced in policy models of energy and global warming economics to make the process of technological change endogenous. It is not widely appreciated that this is a...

Our world is changing at dizzying speed. Globalisation, technological innovation, and demographic change are creating both new demands and opportunities. The Internet is fascinating and frivolously affecting our work and life. E-governance has become the order of the day. How do we respond? How...

As one of the prominent areas of FinTech, mobile payment is increasingly accepted by more and more consumers. To investigate consumer mobile payment adoption behavior, we develop a Bayesian learning structural model using a rich data set from JD.com, the largest direct selling online retailer in...

An important concern is that algorithms can inadvertently discriminate against minority groups and reinforce existing inequality. Typically, the worry is that when classification algorithms are trained on a dataset that itself reflects bias this may reinforce bias. However, in the world of...
