incorporates imitation of foreign techniques. The transitional dynamics of the model can account for some well-known empirical … imitation. The paper also documents that mos predictions of the model are consistent with the empirical evidence. Overall, these … results suggest that foreign techniques can be the main driving force behind imitation policy. The paper shows as well that …

Consider an evolutionary context where a given number of quantity-setting oligopolists tend to mimic successful behavior, occasionally experimenting with some small probability. In this context, it is shown that the unique long-run outcome of the process has all firms playing Walrasian, i.e.,...

We analyze the long-run outcome of markets in which boundedly rational firms with a decreasingreturns to scale technology compete in prices. The behavior of these firms is based on limitation ofsuccess and experimentation. In this framework, we introduce a new approach to model boundedlyrational...

This paper focuses on the probabilistic point of view and proposes a extremely simple probabilistic model that provides a single and simple story to account for several extensions of the Shapley value, as weighted Shapley values, semivalues, and weak (weighted or not) semivalues, and the Shapley...
