We present a decision theoretic framework in which agents are learning about market behavior and that provides … microfoundations for models of adaptive learning. Agents are 'internally rational', i.e., maximize discounted expected utility under … discounted sum of dividends. As a result, learning about price behavior affects market outcomes, while learning about the …

This paper develops a framework to analyze the relationship between the diffusion of new technologies and the decentralization decisions of firms. Centralized control relies on the information of the principal, which we equate with publicly available information. Decentralized control, on the...

A simple model of process innovation is proposed, where firms learn about their ideal production process by making prototypes. We build around this a dynamic general equilibrium model, and derive conditions under which diversified and specialised cities coexist. New products are developed in...
