We show how early warning about an impending regime change eliminates panic. Agents anticipate a future shock and decide when to attack. Waiting is costly, especially when others attack and cause a regime change while one waits. This may create panic. We

A signal is a description of an information source that specifies both its correlation with the state and its correlation with other signals. Extending Blackwell (1953), we characterize when one signal is more valuable than another regardless of ...

Structural Models of Nonequilibrium Strategic Thinking: Theory, Evidence, and Applications
, 2013Most applications of game theory assume equilibrium, justified by presuming either that learning will have converged to one, or that equilibrium approximates people’s strategic thinking even when a learning justification is implausible.

We propose a model of strategic experimentation on social networks in which forward-looking agents learn from their own and neighbors’ successes. In equilibrium, private discovery is followed by social diffusion.
