In standard models of rational learning from experience, prior uncertainties and disagreements recede smoothly as …, uncertainties will surge and core disagreements widen. In general, rational learning tends to bifurcate into calm and turbulent …

This paper uses a model of boundedly rational learning to account for the observations of recurrent hyperinflations in … formal definition of quasi-rational learning. The model under learning is able to match remarkably well some crucial stylized … being a small departure from rational expectations, quasi-rational learning does not preclude falsifiability of the model …

This paper describes characteristics of a discrete - time model for a consumers group through bounded rationality theory, where the basis of decision-making is the Aspiration Adaptation Theory (Selten, 1998). Each consumer try to imitate the decision of others related to them based in last time...

The wage effect of job-education vertical mismatch (i.e. overeducation) has only recently been investigated in the case of Ph.D. holders. The existing contributions rely on OLS estimates that allow measuring the average effect of being mismatched at the mean of the conditional wages...

We investigate how childhood cognitive skills affect strategic sophistication and adult outcomes. In particular, we emphasize the importance of childhood theory-of-mind as a cognitive skill. We collected experimental data from more than seven hundred children in a variety of strategic...

A large literature shows that people discount financial rewards hyperbolically instead of exponentially. While discounting of money has been questioned as a measure of time preferences, it continues to be highly relevant in empirical practice and predicts a wide range of real-world behaviors,...

We consider the psychological and social foundations of human contributions and punishments in a voluntary contributions mechanism with punishment (VCMP). We eliminate 'dynamic economic linkages' between the two stages of our "modified" VCMP to rule out other potential explanations. We use a...

We experimentally study how people form predictive models of simple data generating processes (DGPs), by showing subjects data sets and asking them to predict future outputs. We find that subjects: (i) often fail to predict in this task, indicating a failure to form a model, (ii) often cannot...
