We propose a structural model of correlated learning with indirect inference to explain late-mover advantages. Our model focuses on a class of products with the following two features: (i) products which build on a common fundamental technology (e.g., computer processor, car, smartphone, etc.);...

This paper investigates whether aggregate consumer learning together with consumer heterogeneity in price sensitivity could explain why (i) there is a slow diffusion of generic drugs into the market, and (ii) brand-name originators keep increasing their prices over time even after the number of...

Learning models extend the traditional discrete choice framework by postulating that consumers have incomplete information about product attributes, and that they learn about these attributes over time. In this survey we describe the literature on learning models that has developed over the past...
