In this paper I study the economics of self-enforcing international environmental agreements where agents never know what exactly the state of the world is. Explicitly, I consider countries using Bayesian learning to update their beliefs on the state of the world. Using a very simple framework...

Recently there has been much work on learning in games. However, learning usually means learning about behavior of opponents rather than learning about the game as such. Here we test in an experiment whether players in a repeated encounter can learn the payoff structures of their opponents by...

We introduce the algorithmic learning equations (ALEs), a set of ordinary differential equations which characterizes the finite-time and asymptotic behaviour of the stochastic interaction between state-dependent learning algorithms in dynamic games. Our framework allows for a variety of...

Recently there has been much work on learning in games. However, learning usually means "learning about behavior of opponents" rather than "learning about the game" as such. Here we test in an experiment whether players in a repeated encounter can learn the payoff structures of their opponents...

This paper studies fictitious play in networks of noncooperative two-person games. We show that continuous-time fictitious play converges to the set of Nash equilibria if the overall n-person game is zero-sum. Moreover, the rate of convergence is 1/T, regardless of the size of the network. In...

This paper studies the reinforcement learning of Erev and Roth with foregone payoff information in normal form games: players observe not only the realised payoffs but also foregone payoffs, the ones which they could have obtained if they had chosen the other actions. We provide conditions under...

This study examines how each player chooses her/his optimal action in "normal-form games with unawareness" by applying a "discovery process" to them. We show that if each player implements a best response to the opponents' immediately preceding plays, then any discovery process converges to a...

We choose between alternatives without being fully informed about the rewards from different courses of action. In making our decisions, we use our own past experience and the experience of others. So the ways in which we interact - our social network - can influence our choices. These choices...
