We provide a convergence theory for adaptive learning algorithms useful for the study of learning by economic agents. Our results extend the framework of Ljung (1977) previously utilized by Marcet-Sargent (1989a, b) and Woodford (1990), by permitting nonlinear laws of motion driven by stochastic processes that may exhibit moderate dependence, such as mixing and mixingale processes. We draw on previous work by Kushner and Clark (1978) to provide readily verifiable and/or interpretable conditions ensuring algorithm convergence, chosen for their suitability in the context of adaptive learning.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Kate Ho, the John L. Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy at Princeton University and a Fellow of the Econometric Society. Kate was a brilliant IO economist and scholar whose impact on the profession will resonate for many years to come.
