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 …

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...

The paper investigates social-learning when the information structure is not commonly known. Individuals repeatedly … interact in social-learning settings with distinct information structures. In each round of interaction, they use their … behavior in the long-run if and only if individuals distinguish social-learning settings and receive rich feedback after each …

We conduct a randomized field experiment to study the effects of two financial education interventions offered to small …-scale retailers in rural western Uganda. The treatments contrast "active learning" with traditional "lecturing" within standardized … lesson-plans. After six months, active learning has a positive effect on savings and investment outcomes, in contrast to …
