This paper derives the general equilibrium effects of rational inattention (or RI; Sims 2003, 010) in a model of incomplete income insurance (Huggett 1993, Wang 2003). We first show that, under the assumption of CARA utility with Gaussian shocks, the permanent income hypothesis (PIH) arises in...

We propose a recursive utility version of a basic Huggett (1993) model to study the implications of rational inattention (or RI, Sims 2003, 2010) for the cross-sectional dispersion of consumption and wealth (relative to income) in general equilibrium. We find that incorporating RI can...

This paper introduces the rational inattention hypothesis (RI) -- that agents process information subject to finite channel constraints -- into a stochastic growth model with permanent technology shocks. We find that RI raises consumption volatility relative to output by introducing an...
