A monopolist uses prices as an instrument to influence consumers' belief about the unknown quality of its product. Consumers observe prices and sales in earlier periods to learn about the product. Every period they decide whether to consume the product or to wait for a lower price in future. We...

Increasingly, firms use algorithms powered by artificial intelligence to set prices. Previous research studies interactions among Q-learning algorithms in a simulated oligopoly model of price competition. The algorithms learn collusive strategies but require a long time that corresponds to...
