内容简介：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. Social learning crowds out own experimentation, so total information decreases with network density; we determine density thresholds below which agents' asymptotic learning is perfect. By contrast, agent welfare is single-peaked in network density and achieves a second-best benchmark level at intermediate levels that strike a balance between discovery and diffusion.

演讲人简介：Moritz Meyer-ter-Vehn is a micro-economic theorist with research interests in both pure and applied economic theory. His research agenda in pure theory focuses on robust mechanism design. On the applied side, he studies dynamic games with incomplete information and has written papers on learning in networks, labor market competition, firm reputation, and information aggregation.
