Learning and Forgetting : The Dynamics of Aircraft Production

Benkard, C. Lanier - 1999

This paper introduces a new cost dataset for a commercial aircraft firm and uses this data to analyze the dynamics of learning in commercial aircraft production. This dataset is found to be inconsistent with the simple learning hypothesis, and particularly the prediction that a firm's unit cost...

Learning by Viewing? Social Learning, Regulatory Disclosure, and Firm Productivity in Shale Gas

Fetter, T. Robert - 2018

In many industries firms can learn about new technologies from other adopters; mandatory disclosure regulations represent an understudied channel for this type of social learning. We study an environmentally-focused law in the shale gas industry to examine firms' claims that disclosure...

Economic Development as Self-Discovery

Hausmann, Ricardo - 2002

In the presence of uncertainty about what a country can be good at producing, there can be great social value to discovering costs of domestic activities because such discoveries can be easily imitated. We develop a general-equilibrium framework for a small open economy to clarify the analytical...

Learning, Complementarities, and Asynchronous Use of Technology

Jovanovic, Boyan - 1997

This paper deals with processes that require several complementary inputs subject to improvements in quality. If after a quality upgrade one of these inputs requires a period of learning before it can be used effectively, then in general it will pay to purchase the inputs at different dates --...

Directed Attention and Nonparametric Learning

Dew-Becker, Ian - 2017

We study an ambiguity-averse agent with uncertainty about income dynamics who chooses what aspects of the income process to learn about. The agent chooses to learn most about income dynamics at the very lowest frequencies, which have the greatest effect on utility. Deviations of consumption from...

Production and Learning in Teams

Herkenhoff, Kyle - 2018

The effect of coworkers on the learning and the productivity of an individual is measured combining theory and data. The theory is a frictional equilibrium model of the labor market in which production and the accumulation of human capital of an individual are allowed to depend on the human...
