This paper solves the canonical dynamic rational inattention problem of Sims (2003) by formulating it in the frequency domain. The solution complements and extends existing results, which have been derived in the time domain. The paper provides a simple algorithm that quickly and accurately...

If we reassess the rationality question under the assumption that the uncertainty of the natural world is largely … theory of ecological rationality. The main casualty of this rebuilding process is optimality. Once we view optimality as a … formal implication of quantified uncertainty rather than an ecologically meaningful objective, the rationality question …

We develop a theoretical model to study the welfare effects of libertarian paternalism on information acquisition, social learning, and financial decision-making. Individuals in our model are permitted to appreciate and use the information content in the default options set by a social planner....

Consumers often do not have complete information about the choices they face and therefore have to spend time and effort in acquiring information. Since information acquisition is costly, consumers have to trade-off the value of better information against its cost, and make their final choices...
