英文摘要：
We examine the long-term behavior of a Bayesian agent who has a misspecified belief about the time lag between actions and feedback, and learns about the payoff consequences of his actions over time. Misspecified beliefs about time lags result in attribution errors, which have no long-term effect when the agent\'s action converges, but can lead to arbitrarily large long-term inefficiencies when his action cycles. Our proof uses concentration inequalities to bound the frequency of action switches, which are useful to study learning problems with history dependence. We apply our methods to study a policy choice game between a policy-maker who has a correctly specified belief about the time lag and the public who has a misspecified belief.

中文摘要：
我们研究了一个贝叶斯代理的长期行为，该代理对行动和反馈之间的时间间隔有错误的信念，并了解其行动随着时间的推移产生的回报后果。关于时间滞后的错误信念会导致归因错误，当代理人的行动收敛时，归因错误不会产生长期影响，但当代理人的行动循环时，可能会导致任意大的长期无效性。我们的证明使用集中不等式来限制动作开关的频率，这有助于研究具有历史依赖性的学习问题。我们应用我们的方法研究了一个政策选择博弈，决策者对时滞有正确的信念，而公众对时滞有错误的信念。
