Unlike firms\, consumers do not observe the state. They try to infer hidden charg es from headline prices\, using idiosyncratic subjective models. An interi or competitive equilibrium is uniquely characterized by what is formally a  Bellman equation. Relative to rational expectations\, equilibrium add-on charges are lower whereas the total price and social welfare are higher. Market responses to shocks display patterns that are impossible under rati onal expectations. For example\, although fully revealing\, equilibrium pr ices can vary with consumers’ private information.\n\nhttps://www.ranspi egler.sites.tau.ac.il/_files/ugd/4871e3_5e9a009e7e724121b2cae57b501ffbce.p df LOCATION:Reinhard Selten Institute\, Niebuhrstraße 5\, 53113 Bonn\, German y DTSTART:20250701T121500Z DTEND:20250701T133000Z DTSTAMP:20250618T003239Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
