Pastine, Ivan ; Pastine, Tuvana (University College Dublin. School Of Economics, 2006-11)

In an observational learning environment rational agents may mimic the actions of the predecessors even when their own signal suggests the opposite. In case early movers’ signals happen to be incorrect society may settle ...
