We embed signaling in the classical Cournot model in which several firms sell a homogeneous good. The quality is known to all the firms, but only to some buyers. The quantity-setting firms can manipulate the price to signal quality. Because there is only one price in a market for a...

this paper, we study the identification of moral hazard from adverse selection and learning within the context of a multi …-period dynamic model. We extend the model of Abbring et al.

We introduce learning in a Brock-Mirman environment and study the effect of risk generated by the planner's econometric … activity on optimal consumption and investment. Here, learning introduces two sources of risk about future payoffs: structural … uncertainty and uncertainty from the anticipation of learning. The latter renders control and learning nonseparable. We present …

We embed learning (without experimentation) in optimal growth. We extend the Mirman-Zilcha results of stochastic … optimal growth to the learning case. We use recursive methods to study the effect of learning on the dynamic program by …

We address the issue of risk aversion in a competitive equilibrium when some buyers engage in learning and information … is conveyed through the price system. Specifically, since the learning process yields uncertainty, we study the effect of …
