Investment in a Monopoly With Bayesian Learning
Koulovatianos, Christos; Mirman, Leonard J.; Santugini, Marc - 2011
We study how learning affects an uninformed monopolist's supply and investment decisions under multiplicative … the random demand. Observing prices reveals this information slowly. We first show how to incorporate Bayesian learning … of learning on supply and investment decisions, as well as the steady state level of capital. Our findings are as follows …

Self-confidence and survival
Bar-Isaac, Heski - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2001
We consider the impact of history on the survival of a monopolist selling single units in discrete time periods, whose quality is learned slowly. If the seller learns her own quality at the same rate as customers, a sufficiently bad run of luck could induce her to stop selling. When she knows...

The literature on environmental R&D frequently studies innovation as a two-stage process, with a single R&D event … leading from a conventional polluting technology to a perfectly clean backstop. We allow for uncertainty in innovation in that …

Robot cars and dynamic bottleneck congestion : the effects on capacity, value of time and preference heterogeneity
Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015 - This version: 9 June 2015
"Robot cars" are cars that allow for automated driving. They can drive closer together than human driven "normal cars" and thereby raise road capacity. Obtaining a robot car instead of a normal car can also be expected to lower the userś value of time losses (VOT), because travel time can be...
