We describe a candid model for learning, why and how learning transpires. We investigate the original as well as the … leading conditions of the learning process. We provide an insight into the realm of beliefs and their formation, their … the influence that learning in general has on human behavior. …

Exploration is a costly activity that helps a business improve their understanding of a potential mineral deposit. Yet, even with strong exploration results, the business faces uncertainty over the value of the mine. I model this situation as a game of chance. The game starts by giving an agent...

This paper studies models where the optimal response functions under consideration are non-increasing in endogenous variables, and weakly increasing in exogenous parameters. Such models include games with strategic substitutes, and include cases where additionally, some variables may be...

This paper studies the analytical properties of the reinforcement learning model proposed in Erev and Roth (1998), also … termed cumulative reinforcement learning in Laslier et al (2001). This stochastic model of learning in games accounts for two … close to one, all the realizations of the reinforcement learning process will, from some time on, lie within an " band of …

Non-classical models of economic behaviour, usually summarised under the notion of 'Bounded Rationality' criticise the assumptions of the standard economic model - hyperrationality, perfect and costless information, and unlimited mental processing capabilities. However, alternative approaches...

In this paper, a reinforcement learning version of the connections game first analysed by Jackson and Wolinsky is …, the main nding is that the pattern of reinforcement learning process is similar, but does not fully converge to the … benchmark results. Before these optimal results can be discovered in a learning process, agents often get locked in a state of …
