We survey work using Bayesian learning in macroeconomics, highlighting common themes and new directions. First, we … present many of the common types of learning problems agents face---signal extraction problems---and trace out their effects … information. Models differ in their motives for information acquisition and the cost of information, or learning technology …

We explore a model of non-Bayesian information aggregation in networks. Agents non-cooperatively choose among Friedkin-Johnsen type aggregation rules to maximize payoffs. The DeGroot rule is chosen in equilibrium if and only if there is noiseless information transmission...leading to consensus....
