Decentralized Organizational Learning: An Experimental Investigation
通过实验研究组织成员在他人同时学习时如何应对干扰，检验了一个理性代理人模型关于企业规模和折现因子等变量的比较静态预测。
We experimentally study decentralized organizational learning. Our objective is to understand how learning members of an organization cope with the confounding effects of the simultaneous learning of others. We test the predictions of a stylized, rational agent model of organizational learning that provides sharp predictions as to how learning members of an organization might cope with the simultaneous learning of others as a function of fundamental variables, e.g., firm size and the discount factor. While the problem of learning while others are learning is quite difficult, we find support for the comparative static predictions of the model's unique symmetric equilibrium.
