We investigate the dynamics of a cobweb model with heterogeneous beliefs, generalising the example of Brock and Hommes (1997). We examine situations where the agents form expectations by using either perfect foresight, or a form of adaptive expectations with limited memory defined from the last...

This paper applies a social learning model to the optimal consumption rule of Allen & Carroll (2001), and delivers … results in the literature, both in terms of speed of convergence and parsimony of the learning model. The learning model … exhibits several appealing features: it is frugal, easy to apply to a range of learning objectives, requires few procedures and …

Traditionally the emphasis in neural network research has been on improving their performance as a means of pattern recognition. Here we take an alternative approach and explore the remarkable similarity between the under-performance of neural networks trained to behave optimally in economic...

to analyze the social learning mechanism and its effect on the seller's pricing decision. This analysis borrows from the … literature on social learning and on pricing and revenue management. Consumers follow a naive decision rule and, under some … conditions, eventually learn the product's quality. Using mean-field approximation, the dynamics of this learning process are …
