An information transaction entails the purchase of information. Formally, it consists of an information structure together with a price. We develop an index of the appeal of information transactions, which is derived as a dual to the agent's preferences for information. The index of information...

Differences in cognitive sophistication and effort are at the root of behavioral heterogeneity in economics. To explain this heterogeneity, behavioral models assume that certain choices indicate higher cognitive effort. A fundamental problem with this approach is that observing a choice does not...

We document an asymmetry in the rigidity of 9-ending prices relative to non-9-ending prices. Consumers have difficulty noticing higher prices if they are 9-ending, or noticing price-increases if the new prices are 9-ending, because 9-endings are used as a signal for low prices. Price setters...

We report an experiment where each subject's ambiguity sensitivity is measured by an ambiguity premium, a concept … analogous to and comparable with a risk premium. In our design, some tasks feature known objective risks and others uncertainty … ambiguity premia; and that, on average, ambiguity sensitivity is about as strong as risk sensitivity. …
