Is Ignorance Bliss? Rational Inattention and Optimal Pricing∗
A rationally inattentive consumer processes information about his valuation prior to making his purchasing decision. In a monopoly pricing problem, I study the case in which information processing constraints restrict the consumer to finite information structures. The limiting, unconstrained case is analyzed as well. Any finite equilibrium information structure satisfies three properties: It is...
متن کاملDiscrete Choice and Rational Inattention: a General Equivalence Result
This paper establishes a general equivalence between discrete choice and rational inattention models. Matejka and McKay (2015, AER) showed that when information costs are modelled using the Shannon entropy function, the resulting choice probabilities in the rational inattention model take the multinomial logit form. By exploiting convex-analytic properties of the discrete choice model, we show ...
متن کاملCoordination with Rational Inattention
We study information acquisition in a coordination game with incomplete information. To capture the idea that players can exibly decide what information to acquire, we do not impose any physical restriction on feasible information structure. Facing an informational cost measured by reduction of Shannon's entropy, players collect information most relevant to their welfare and are rationally inat...
متن کاملSignal Extraction and Rational Inattention∗
In this paper we examine the implications of two theories of informational frictions, signal extraction (SE) and rational inattention (RI), for optimal decisions and economic dynamics within the linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) setting. We first show that if the variance of the noise and channel capacity are fixed exogenously in the SE and RI problems, respectively, the two environments lead to ...
متن کاملPieri’s Formula via Explicit Rational Equivalence
Pieri’s formula describes the intersection product of a Schubert cycle by a special Schubert cycle on a Grassmannian. Classically, it is proven by calculating an appropriate triple intersection of Schubert varieties. We present a new geometric proof, exhibiting an explicit chain of rational equivalences from a suitable sum of distinct Schubert varieties to the intersection of a Schubert variety...
