摘要:This paper develops a tractable framework for analyzing finite sequential search problems, where a searcher chooses search intensity adaptively in each period. We fully characterize the optimal search rule and value, decomposing the inter-temporal change of optimal search intensity into a fall-back value effect and a deadline effect.  We show that the optimal search intensity (value) is submodular (supermodular) in fall-back value and time. It follows that the fall-back value effect increases when the deadline approaches, and the deadline effect decreases when a searcher's fall-back value gets higher. We further quantify the value of recall and the value of time .  Finally, we discuss the potential applications of our results in related problems in economics and management.
