We present a diagrammatic and step-by-step analysis of price signaling quality. Because quality is a continuum on the … equilibrium. We first study the behavior of the monopoly when price conveys information about quality. We then show the effect of …

In a noisy learning environment, price discrimination can be detrimental to the firm and beneficial to the … buyers provides the firm with the incentive to engage in noisy price signaling. Indeed, if the benefit from price flexibility …

quality is learned slowly. If the seller learns her own quality at the same rate as customers, a sufficiently bad run of luck … could induce her to stop selling. When she knows her quality, a good seller never stops selling. Furthermore, a seller with …

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...

This chapter provides a survey of the recent work on learning in the context of macroeconomics. Learning has several … roles. First, it provides a boundedly rational model of how rational expectations can be achieved. Secondly, learning acts … as a selection device in models with multiple REE (rational expectations equilibria). Third, the learning dynamics …

The aim of this research is to analyze whether and when ratings are informative signals about the quality of movies …. The ratings data of Netflix is used to fit a structural Bayesian learning model. This model links revealed experience … the quality using ratings as signals. The signal produced by one rating is very noisy and might not be taken into account …

I find that firm learning increases relative expected earnings in high-ability jobs and, thereby, enhances imitation … priori. Numerical results show that firm learning does not increase labor market efficiency. …
