We axiomatize a new class of recursive dynamic models that capture subjective constraints on the amount of information a decision maker can obtain, pay attention to, or absorb, via a Markov Decision Process for Information Choice (MIC). An MIC is a subjective decision process that specifies what...

In global games in which one player has better information than his rival, it may be that in the unique equilibrium, the better informed player has a lower payoff than the poorly informed player. The reason is that while the better informed player faces less (or even no) uncertainty about...

We propose a class of dynamic models that capture subjective (and, hence, unobservable) constraints on the amount of information a decision maker can acquire, pay attention to, or absorb via an information choice process (ICP). An ICP specifies the information that can be acquired about the...

We investigate intertemporal planning problems as a way of gaining understanding of the characteristics of individual decision-makers and the choice options presented to them. A frequent simplifying assumption that is made in studies of this sort is that choice of options that yield lower...
