We show what the rational inattention model predicts about the treatment effect of information provided during a randomized control trial. This is a non-trivial question because the model implies optimal attention choice before, during, and after an information treatment. The predictions of the...

"This paper considers the appropriate stabilization objectives for monetary policy in a microfounded model with staggered price-setting. Rotemberg and Woodford (1997) and Woodford (2002) have shown that under certain conditions, a local approximation to the expected utility of the representative...
