Traditional macroeconomic learning algorithms are misspecified when all agents are learning simultaneously. In this … paper, we produce a number of learning algorithms that do not share this failing, and show that this enables them to learn … almost any solution, for any parameters, implying learning cannot be used for equilibrium selection. As a by-product, we are …

We study a dynamic game in which short-run players repeatedly play a symmetric, strictly supermodular game whose payoff depends on a fixed unknown state of nature. Each short-run player inherits the beliefs of his immediate predecessor in addition to observing the actions of the players in his...

This paper considers incentives for information acquisition ahead of conflicts. First, we characterize the (unique) equilibrium of the all-pay auction between two players with one-sided asymmetric information where one player has private information about his valuation. Then, we use ou rresults...

We analyze a simple supply chain with one supplier, one retailer and uncertainty about market demand. Focusing on the incentives of the supplier and the retailer to enhance their private information about the actual market conditions, we show that choices on information acquisition are strategic...

A principal needs to make a decision. An expert is able to supply information that is helpful to the principal, but only by exerting effort, which is costly. The principal can incentivize the expert to put in effort by paying him a reward based on his reported information and on the true state...

I consider a situation, where the agent can acquire payoff-relevant information either before or after the contract is signed. To raise efficiency, the principal might solicit information; to retain all surplus, however, she must prevent precontractual information gathering. The following class...

Despite a vast theoretical literature that builds on costly information acquisition, there is no direct evidence on the importance of information costs in investors’ private information choices. Using a large sample of Chinese mutual fund managers’ visits to firm headquarters and exploiting...
