Berk–Nash equilibrium: A framework for modeling agents with misspecified models
I Esponda, D Pouzo - Econometrica, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
We develop an equilibrium framework that relaxes the standard assumption that people
have a correctly specified view of their environment. Each player is characterized by a …

Frontiers: Algorithmic collusion: Supra-competitive prices via independent algorithms
Motivated by their increasing prevalence, we study outcomes when competing sellers use
machine learning algorithms to run real-time dynamic price experiments. These algorithms …

Selective attention and learning
J Schwartzstein - Journal of the European Economic Association, 2014 - academic.oup.com
What do we notice and how does this affect what we learn and come to believe? I present a
model of an agent who learns to make forecasts on the basis of readily available …

Real effects of search frictions in consumer credit markets
We show that search frictions in credit markets affect accepted interest rates and loan sizes
and distort consumption. Using data on car loan applications and originations not …

Competing models
Different agents need to make a prediction. They observe identical data, but have different
models: they predict using different explanatory variables. We study which agent believes …

Asymptotic behavior of Bayesian learners with misspecified models
I Esponda, D Pouzo, Y Yamamoto - Journal of Economic Theory, 2021 - Elsevier
We consider an agent who represents uncertainty about the environment via a possibly
misspecified model. Each period, the agent takes an action, observes a consequence, and …

Decision makers as statisticians: Diversity, ambiguity, and learning
NI Al‐Najjar - Econometrica, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
I study individuals who use frequentist models to draw uniform inferences from independent
and identically distributed data. The main contribution of this paper is to show that distinct …

Merge or separate? Multi-job scheduling for OpenCL kernels on CPU/GPU platforms
Y Wen, MFP O'Boyle - Proceedings of the general purpose GPUs, 2017 - dl.acm.org
Computer systems are increasingly heterogeneous with nodes consisting of CPUs and GPU
accelerators. As such systems become mainstream, they move away from specialized high …

Mental health stigma
Comparing self-reports to administrative data records on diagnosis and prescription drug
use, we find that survey respondents under-report mental health conditions 36% of the time …

Optimal categorization
E Mohlin - Journal of Economic Theory, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper studies categorizations that are optimal for the purpose of making predictions. A
subject encounters an object (x, y). She observes the first component, x, and has to predict …
