combining the learning aspect of experience goods with reference-dependent preferences, we setup a field experiment in Northern … Uganda in which three health products differing in their scope for learning were initially offered either for free or for … sale at market prices. In line with prior studies, when the product has potential for positive learning, we do not find an …

We discuss the robustness of the symmetric optimal equilibrium of this GE model, by testing the ability of …

In the latter case, consumers can be locked …This paper applies recent advances in the theory of learning to the analysis of consumer behaviour in a dynamic duopoly …. Nash equilibrium play is characterised when consumers learn adaptively about the relative quality of the two products. A …

Standard decision theoretic models take as given that agents have perfect self-awareness; they have complete knowledge of thier own abilities. In the first part of the paper we combine philosophical and empirical arguments to attack the perfect awareness assumption. In the second part we ask...

To also incorporate preference learning on the part of potential adopters of these technologies, we combine it with a … model of cultural learning based on role model, conformist, and hedonistic learning.
