Investment in a Monopoly With Bayesian Learning
Koulovatianos, Christos; Mirman, Leonard J.; Santugini, Marc - 2011
We study how learning affects an uninformed monopolist's supply and investment decisions under multiplicative … the random demand. Observing prices reveals this information slowly. We first show how to incorporate Bayesian learning … of learning on supply and investment decisions, as well as the steady state level of capital. Our findings are as follows …

Optimal Experimentation in a Changing Environment
Keller, Godfrey; Rady, Sven - EconWPA - 1998
This paper studies optimal experimentation by a monopolist who faces an unknown demand curve subject to random changes, and who maximises profits over an infinite horizon in continuous time. We show that there are two qualitatively very different regimes, determined by the discount rate and the...

Self-confidence and survival
Bar-Isaac, Heski - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2001

Learning buyers' valuation distribution in posted-price selling
Wang, Ruqu; Chen, Yongmin - In: Economic Theory 14 (1999) 2, pp. 417-428
A dynamic pricing model is studied where a seller of an asset faces a sequence of potential buyers whose valuation distribution is unknown to the seller. The seller learns more about the distribution in the selling process and becomes less optimistic as the object remains unsold. We characterize...

On backstops and boomerangs : environmental R&D under technological uncertainty
Goeschl, Timo; Perino, Grischa - 2007
The literature on environmental R&D frequently studies innovation as a two-stage process, with a single R&D event … leading from a conventional polluting technology to a perfectly clean backstop. We allow for uncertainty in innovation in that …

Natural Resources, National Income, and Resource Movement Effect under a Rent-Seeking Monopoly
Muradov, Anar - 2023
In this paper, a new model is developed by referring to the literature on Dutch disease and rent-seeking for explaining how a natural resource boom in the energy sector decreases national income and induces a resource movement effect under a rent-seeking monopoly. In such a model, it is shown...
