Stable Price Dispersion under Heterogeneous Buyer Consideration
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the pricing of homogeneous products sold to customers who consider different sets of suppliers. We identify prices that are stable in the sense that no firm wishes to undercut a rival or to raise its price when rivals are able to respond by offering special deals.

STbayes: An R package for creating, fitting and understanding Bayesian models of social transmission
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract A critical consequence of joining social groups is the possibility of social transmission of information related to novel behaviours or resources. Network‐based diffusion analysis (NBDA) has emerged as a leading frequentist framework for inferring and quantifying social transmission, particularly in non‐human animal populations.
