In equilibrium, tax rates are inefficiently low if the value of learning is positive and the pace of … learning increases in the level of tax rates (because higher tax rates trigger larger tax base effects which helps learning … learning). If, due to fiscal externalities, the value of learning is negative, the opposite may be true. From the viewpoint of …

neighbours’ experiences. In contrast to the existing work on policy learning, we focus on learning in the presence of (fiscal …) externalities. We show that, because learning can exacerbate this external-ity, the value of learning can be negative and, thus …, learning may be too fast. Given that variance in tax policies enhances learning, this implies that, in the sequence of Markov …

Using belief elicitation, the paper investigates the formation and the evolution of beliefs in a signalling game in which a common prior on Sender's type is not induced. Beliefs are elicited about the type of the Sender and about the strategies of the players. The experimental subjects often...

Numerical results show that firm learning does not increase labor market efficiency. …

The payoff matrix of a finite stage game is realized randomly, and then the stage game is repeated infinitely. The distribution over states of the world (a state corresponds to a payoff matrix) is commonly known, but players do not observe nature’s choice. Over time, they can learn the state...

This survey discusses behavioral and experimental macroeconomics emphasizing a complex systems perspective. The economy consists of boundedly rational heterogeneous agents who do not fully understand their complex environment and use simple decision heuristics. Central to our survey is the...
