Under the assumption of bounded rationality, economic agents learn from their past mistaken predictions by combining new and old information to form new beliefs. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the policy-maker, by affecting private agents' learning process, determines the speed at...

This paper studies an internet trading mechanism similar to the one described in Peters and Severinov (2001) in a market where traders values are interdependent. It is shown that under reasonable conditions this mechanism has a perfect Bayesian equilibrium which supports allocations that...

We consider the behavior of the price of a continuously stored commodity, for which discounted price is a non …-constant martingale, and thus not-predictable. We prove that the discounted price realization is within any given neighborhood of zero … path of discounted price realizations will lie permanently within any given neighborhood of zero beyond a finite state …
