infinite-horizon learning, and subjective expectations with Euler-equation learning. Under rational expectations, the model … necessitates of large, possibly unrealistically so, degrees of myopia. The same result persists under infinite-horizon learning …, given that agents are still remarkably far-sighted. But, under Euler-equation learning, the model can fit the data with only …

Attention is a pivotal resource in the modern economy and plays an increasingly prominent role in economic analysis. We summarize research on attention from both psychology and economics, placing a particular emphasis on its capacity to explain numerous documented violations of classical...

We present a dynamic lifecycle model of women's choices with respect to partnership status, labour supply and fertility when a male partner's true tendency for abusive behaviour is unobserved. The model is estimated by the method of simulated moments using longitudinal data from the Avon...

We report two information cascade game experiments that directly test the impact of altruism on observational learning … opportunities to learn about the strategies played by observed which amplifies the impact of altruism on observational learning. …

We describe a dynamic model of costly information sharing, where private information affecting collective-value actions is transmitted by social proximity. Individuals make voluntary contributions towards the provision of a pure public good, and information transmission about quality of...

neighbours’ experiences. In contrast to the existing work on policy learning, we focus on learning in the presence of (fiscal …) externalities. We show that, because learning can exacerbate this external-ity, the value of learning can be negative and, thus …, learning may be too fast. Given that variance in tax policies enhances learning, this implies that, in the sequence of Markov …
