The value of information is examined in a single-agent environment with unawareness. Al though the agent has a correct … lead him to commit information processing errors and to behave suboptimally. As a result, the value of information can be … negative, contrasting what is true in the standard model with partitional information and no unawareness. We show that the …

Consider an investment problem with strategic complementarities and incomplete information about returns. This paper … shows that investors aggregate their private information in equilibrium by trading a token and observing its market price … over multiple rounds before making the investment decision. This result is robust to the information environment. The paper …

We define a generalized state-space model with interactive unawareness and probabilistic beliefs. Such models are desirable for many potential applications of asymmetric unawareness. We develop Bayesian games with unawareness, define equilibrium, and prove existence. We show how equilibria are...

The standard state-spaces of asymmetric information preclude non-trivial forms of unawareness (Modica and Rustichini …

Human utility embodies a number of seemingly irrational aspects. The leading example in this paper is that utilities often depend on the presence of salient unchosen alternatives. Our focus is to understand <i>why</i> an evolutionary process might optimally lead to such seemingly dysfunctional features...

We characterize a precise comparative static on welfare and the amount of public information in an economy under … uncertainty. Results dating to Hirshleifer (1971) have suggested that information can have negative value in such a setting, but … concept of implementable allocations, the negative relationship between more public information in the sense of Blackwell and …

The properties of information, including "information uncertainty", can be understood only Bayesianly. Common … formulations that define information uncertainty in terms of just statistical "precision" (i.e. sampling variance), or any one … estimator characteristic (e.g. bias), are inadequate for generalized Bayesian analysis. Methods that deny information a Bayesian …
