چکیده
We study a dynamic principal-agent relationship with adverse selection and limited commitment. We show that when the relationship is subject to productivity shocks, the principal may be able to improve her value over time by progressively learning the agent’s private information. She may even achieve her first best payoff in the long-run. The relationship may also exhibit path dependence, with early shocks determining the principal’s long-run value. These findings contrast sharply with the results of the ratchet effect literature, in which the principal persistently obtains low payoffs, giving up substantial informational rents to the agent. JEL Classification Codes: C73, D86

The analysis of texts in the area of learning disability diagnosis indicates that there are differences for the analysis of learning disability. Two of the most applicable models are "uncoordinated Intelligence coefficient-Progressive" and "intervention prevention" ones. Despite the fact that these two models have had widespread applications especially with the uncoordinated Intelligence ...

متن کاملWrapped Progressive Sampling Search for Optimizing Learning Algorithm Parameters
We present a heuristic meta-learning search method for finding a set of optimized algorithmic parameters for a range of machine learning algorithms. The method, wrapped progressive sampling, is a combination of classifier wrapping and progressive sampling of training data. A series of experiments on UCI benchmark data sets with nominal features, and five machine learning algorithms to which sim...
متن کاملCollaborative technology for facilitating progressive inquiry: future learning environment tools
The design of a web-based, networked learning environment, Future Learning Environment Tools (FLE-Tools) embodies a model of progressive inquiry. In this paper, we introduce the progressive inquiry model and describe how different modules FLETools are designed to facilitate participation in this kind of inquiry. Results of a pilot experiment of using FLE-Tools in higher education are presented....
متن کاملAn Application of Machine Learning Techniques for the Classification of Glaucomatous Progression
This paper presents an application of machine learning to the problem of classifying patients with glaucoma into one of two classes:stable and progressive glaucoma. The novelty of the work is the use of new features for the data analysis combined with machine learning techniques to classify the medical data. The paper describes the new features and the results of using decision trees to separat...
متن کاملExperiments with Reinforcement Learning in Environments with Progressive Difficulty
This paper introduces Progressive Reinforcement Learning, which augments standard Q-Learning with a mechanism for transferring experience gained in one problem to new but related problems. In this approach, an agent acquires experience of operating in a simple domain through experimentation. It then engages in a period of introspection, during which it rationalises the experience gained and for...
