How Do Biases Influence Learning Outcomes?

Author

  • YAMAMOTO, Yuichi

Abstract

Recent studies on misspecified learning show that when a misspecified agent learns an unknown economic state, its outcome can differ significantly from that of a correctly specified agent. Specifically, there are cases in which one’s belief does not converge forever or a negligible amount of misspecification has a significant impact on the learning outcome. In this study, we review these recent results in the literature and discuss what is critical to them.
