This paper studies the analytical properties of the reinforcement learning model proposed in Erev and Roth (1998), also termed cumulative reinforcement learning in Laslier et al (2001). This stochastic model of learning in games accounts for two main elements: the law of effect (positive...

In this paper we propose a locally interactive model which explains both the cross sectional dynamics as well as the possibility of multiple long run equilibria. Firms can choose between two technologies say 1 and 0; the returns from technology 1 are affected by the number of neighboring firms...

We study social learning in a large population of agents who only observe the actions taken by their neighbours. Agents have to choose one, out of two, reversible actions, each optimal in one, out of two, unknown states of the world. Each agent chooses rationally, on the basis of private...

The paper develops a framework for the analysis of finite n-player games, recurrently played by randomly drawn n-tuples of players, from a finite population. We first relate the set of equilibria of this game to the set of correlated equilibria of the underlying game, and then focus on learning...
