The rational inattention literature is split between two versions of the model: in one, mutual information of states and signals are bounded by a hard constraint, while, in the other, it appears as an additive term in the decision maker's utility function. The resulting constrained and...

This paper studies static rational inattention problems with multiple actions and multiple shocks. We solve for the optimal signals chosen by agents and provide tools to interpret information processing. By relaxing restrictive assumptions previously used to gain tractability, we allow agents...

We present a geometric approach to the finite Rational Inattention (RI) model, recasting it as a convex optimization problem with reduced dimensionality that is well suited to numerical methods. We provide an algorithm that outperforms existing RI computation techniques in terms of both speed...

We tested the influence of time pressure and to what extent time pressure interacts with the contextual factors ("payoff scheme" and "level of costs for information that can be acquired") in three laboratory experiments. Participants had to decide how many pieces of information they wanted to...

The founder of a start-up (principal) who has a project with uncertain returns must retain and incentivize an agent using promise of future payments and information gathering. The agent's effort incrementally advances production and such advance is a prerequisite for gathering new information....

Research on idiosyncratic volatility in developing countries, particularly Indonesia, is scant. This study is the first … information environment and idiosyncratic volatility by using a sample of 499 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange … dependent variable was idiosyncratic volatility, and the independent variable used an information environment consisting of …

We study when equilibrium prices can aggregate information in an auction market with a large population of traders. Our main result identifies a property of information---the betweenness property---that is both necessary and sufficient for information aggregation. The characterization provides...

A Bayesian agent experiences gain-loss utility each period over changes in belief about future consumption (''news utility''), with diminishing sensitivity over the magnitude of news. Diminishing sensitivity induces a preference over news skewness: gradual bad news, one-shot good news is worse...

This study shows how correlated information consumption (CIC) of retail investors relates to comovement in stock market outcomes. We construct clusters of stocks with CIC by employing network analysis on Google co-search data. We predict significant comovement in returns and liquidity of stocks...
