Ignorance is bliss: the information malleability effect
In this dissertation, I propose that, post-action, people tend to be more optimistic about outcomes when their actions were based on malleable (vague) information compared to when their actions were based on unmalleable (precise) information. However, pre-action, no such difference occurs. I term this inconsistency in optimism in the pre and post-action stage, the Information Malleability Effec...

Hence the question is whether a rationally-behaving agent would ever do such a thing. This paper demonstrates that 1.

متن کاملWhen Ignorance is Bliss
It is commonly-accepted wisdom that more information is better, and that information should never be ignored. Here we argue, using both a Bayesian and a non-Bayesian analysis, that in some situations you are better off ignoring information if your uncertainty is represented by a set of probability measures. These include situations in which the information is relevant for the prediction task at...
متن کاملPhonetic ignorance is bliss: Inves phonetic information reduction o
Perception studies have long argued that phonetic confusions are more likely to happen across some phonetic features than other (e.g., place of articulation rather than manner) [1]. Similarly, we and others have noted that pronunciation variation occurs more frequently in unstressed syllables, and in syllable codas. This suggests that a phonetic information structure is at play, where for decod...
متن کاملCan managers time the market? Evidence using repurchase price data
Little is known about the prices firms pay for repurchases. We compile a U.S. dataset of actual repurchase prices paid, and we compare that price to the average market price. We find that firms repurchase at significant lower prices than the market average. Firms' ability to time the market varies cross-sectionally: less frequent repurchasers obtain significantly lower prices, as do firms repur...
