matched firm-level customs and manufacturing survey data, together with Input-Output tables for China, to examine how Chinese … production stages conducted in China over the 1992-2014 period, both in the aggregate and within firms over time. Firms span more …

We demonstrate that heat inhibits learning and that school air-conditioning mitigates this effect. Student fixed … heat being particularly damaging. Weekend and summer heat has little impact, suggesting heat directly disrupts learning … simple benefit-cost tests. Without air-conditioning, a 1°F hotter school year reduces that years learning by one percent. Hot …

The adaptive learning approach has been fruitfully employed to model the formation of aggregate expectations at the … macroeconomic level, as an alternative to rational expectations. This paper uses adaptive learning to understand, instead, the … sentiment, defined as the degrees of excess optimism and pessimism that cannot be justified by the near-rational learning model …

study experimentally to what extent cross-game learning can reduce overbidding in SPAs, taking into account cognitive skills … losses from high bids are more salient than in SPAs. Experience in FPAs causes substantial cross-game learning for … bid shading by cognitively more able participants, resulting in lower profits in FPAs. Thus, cross-game learning has the …

The same result persists under infinite-horizon learning …, given that agents are still remarkably farsighted. But, under Euler-equation learning, the model can fit the data with only …
