Pull Request Overview
This PR adds a new lecture on Morris' 1996 paper about speculative behavior and Bayesian learning, building upon the Harrison-Kreps model. The lecture demonstrates how traders with heterogeneous prior beliefs use Bayes' Law to update beliefs about dividend streams, leading to speculative premiums when no global optimist exists.
- Introduces Morris' extension of Harrison-Kreps model with Bayesian learning
- Implements computational methods for multi-trader equilibrium pricing
- Provides examples demonstrating speculative premiums and belief convergence

This lecture looks very nice! Small comments: Is this correct English? "Morris [1996] evidently abandons the Harsanyi doctrine more blightly than Harrison and Kreps had." (What does blightly mean?) Also, "manifold" is used from the start of the lecture and I'm not sure what it means. Perhaps a wiki link would help? For matplotlib, please use the OOP style from the manual (fig, ax = ...) Thanks @HumphreyYang @mmcky I notice that definitions and theorems use the same blue color. They are probably the most common combination. Is there a spare color we could assign to definitions? (I would be in favor of dropping the bell at the far left, since it's a bit unusual in this context.) |
