We address the issue of risk aversion in a competitive equilibrium when some buyers engage in learning and information … risk aversion on the equilibrium outcomes of the model, including the amount of information released by the market. We show … that risk aversion has an effect on the market outcomes but not on the flow of information. In particular, an increase in …

Increasingly, firms use algorithms powered by artificial intelligence to set prices. Previous research studies interactions among Q-learning algorithms in a simulated oligopoly model of price competition. The algorithms learn collusive strategies but require a long time that corresponds to...

A monopolist uses prices as an instrument to influence consumers' belief about the unknown quality of its product. Consumers observe prices and sales in earlier periods to learn about the product. Every period they decide whether to consume the product or to wait for a lower price in future. We...

This paper presents a model of a rational seller who is actively learning the slope of his demand curve via his pricing strategy. Consequently, this seller optimally experiments with his price. Resulting price patterns show a lot of discreteness (as observed in the data), which has proved to be...

We propose an extension to smooth fictitious play and prove that play converges to an ε-Markov perfect equilibrium with probability one in a class of stochastic games known as Markov potential games. We then prove a partial Folk theorem for repeated games under one-period perfect monitoring. We...
