We study the informational role of prices in a stochastic environment. We provide a closed-form solution of the monopoly problem when the price imperfectly signals quality to the uninformed buyers. We then study the effect of noise on output, market price, information flows, and expected...

We present a diagrammatic and step-by-step analysis of price signaling quality. Because quality is a continuum on the real positive line, out-of-equilibrium beliefs need not be specified, i.e., every positive price is a positive outcome in equilibrium. We first study the behavior of the monopoly...

We study investment and consumption decisions in a dynamic game under learning. To that end, we present a model in … same time, the agents learn about the stochastic process governing the evolution of public capital, including the effect of … assumption of adaptive learning) is generally intractable, we characterize the unique symmetric Bayesian-learning recursive …

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 …

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 homogeneous...

We study learning in perfect competition. A representative price-taking firm sells a good whose quality is unknown to … the price, which, in turn, affects the competitive equilibrium through the learning process of the uninformed buyers. …

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 …
