"Agents with more experience make better choices. We measure learning dynamics using a panel with four million monthly credit card statements. We study add-on fees, specifically cash advance, late payment, and overlimit fees. New credit card accounts generate fee payments of $15 per month. Through negative feedback -- i.e. paying a fee -- consumers learn to avoid triggering future fees. Paying a fee last month reduces the likelihood of paying a fee in the current month by about 40%. Controlling for account fixed effects, monthly fee payments fall by 75% during the first three years of account life. We find that learning is not monotonic. Knowledge effectively depreciates about 10% per month, implying that learning displays a strong recency effect"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site

Dieses aktuelle Lehrbuch der Volkswirtschaftslehre, das mit vielen aktuellen Fallstudien punktet und Studierende nicht nur in die klassischen Theorien der Marktmechanismen einführt, sondern auch mit neuen Konzepten und Ansätzen, wie z.B. der Spieltheorie, vertraut macht, darf in keinem gut sortierten Fachbestand an Hochschulstandorten fehlen. Es wurde von namhaften US-amerikanischen Autoren, die am Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an der Harvard University und an der University of Chicago lehren, verfasst. Die deutsche Ausgabe wurde von Professoren der Universität Duisburg-Essen und Greifswald bearbeitet. (3)
