Summary: The study focuses on boundedly-rational agents in McCall's model, who update their perception of waiting for job offers using value-function learning. The model demonstrates asymptotic convergence to fully optimal decision-making in stationary and changing environments, and explores the impact of learning dynamics on unemployment duration and wage dispersion puzzle resolution in simulations and calibration exercises.

Summary: This study examines the perceived competition networks of managers in China's listed firms and the impact of these networks on corporate risk-taking behavior. The findings show a positive association between competition strength, perceived competition network density, and corporate risk-taking. The study also finds a positive spillover effect of risk-taking behavior among firms in perceived competition networks. Additionally, the personal traits of managers, specifically younger age and male gender, significantly moderate the impact of network characteristics on corporate risk-taking.

Summary: Building on existing literature, this paper explores the role of frontline workers as embedded agents in social enterprises and highlights their subjective experiences in navigating moral complexities and organizational hierarchies.
