In a dynamic pricing problem where the demand function is not known a priori, price experimentation can be used as a demand learning tool. Existing literature usually assumes no constraint on price changes, but in practice sellers often face business constraints that prevent them from conducting...

We study the design of optimal monetary policy under uncertainty in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models. We use a Markov jump-linear-quadratic (MJLQ) approach to study policy design, approximating the uncertainty by different discrete modes in a Markov chain, and by taking...

We study the effectiveness of social learning when subjects can also learn individually. In the baseline treatment, a subject observes a sequence of private signals about an unknown state of the world and chooses an action to match the state. In the unilateral social learning treatment, a...

Abstract We examine how owning a good affects learning and beliefs about its quality. We show that people have more extreme reactions to information about a good that they own compared to the same information about a non-owned good: ownership causes more optimistic beliefs after receiving a...

This paper examines the influence of pre-experiment tasks on subject understanding. It used a 2x2 design varying the … type of instructions and whether or not the pre-experiment quiz was incentivized. The Standard instructions were written …-Media Learning literature, which aims to find ways to maximize subject understanding from instruction. After the pre-experiment …

Game-theoretic models of learning are hard to study even in the laboratory setting due to econometric and practical concerns (like the limited length of an experimental session).In particular, as the simulations by (Salmon, 2001) show, in a cross-model (or "blind'') testing of several models,...
