Learning About Reform: Time-Varying Support for Structural Adjustment
Political support for structural reforms can vary dramatically over time. Countries that have sustained reforms have seen their popularity grow, while others have witnessed sudden reversals of political support. Opinion can reverse itself, without any apparent provocation, when voters are learning about the effects of reform. In this model, structural adjustment causes a drop in government serv...
متن کاملSupport vector machines and learning about time
The analysis of temporal data is an important issue in current research, because most real-world data either explicitly or implicitly contains some information about time. The key to successfully solving temporal learning tasks is to analyze the assumptions and prior knowledge that can be made about the temporal process of the learning problem and find a representation of the data and a learnin...
متن کاملConsumption Adjustment under Time-varying Income Uncertainty
We study the effect of income uncertainty on consumption in a model that includes precautionary saving. In contrast to previous studies, we focus on time-series variation in income uncertainty. Our time-series measure of income uncertainty is constructed from a panel of forecasts. We find evidence of precautionary saving in that increases in income uncertainty are related to increases in aggreg...
متن کاملLearning Time-Varying Concepts
This work extends computational learning theory to situations in which concepts vary over time, e.g., system identification of a time-varying plant. We have extended formal definitions of concepts and learning to provide a framework in which an algorithm can track a concept as it evolves over time. Given this framework and focusing on memory-based algorithms, we have derived some PAC-style samp...
متن کاملLearning time-varying categories.
Many kinds of objects and events in our world have a strongly time-dependent quality. However, most theories about concepts and categories either are insensitive to variation over time or treat it as a nuisance factor that produces irrational order effects during learning. In this article, we present two category learning experiments in which we explored peoples' ability to learn categories who...
