Travel time variability and rational inattention
This paper sets up a rational inattention model for the choice of departure time for a traveler facing random travel time. The traveler chooses how much information to acquire about the travel time outcome before choosing departure time. This reduces the cost of travel time variability compared to models in which the information is exogenously fixed .
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 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 کاملRational Inattention and Aggregate Fluctuations
This paper introduces the rational inattention hypothesis (RI) – that agents process information subject to finite channel constraints – into a stochastic growth model with permanent technology shocks. We find that RI raises consumption volatility relative to output by introducing an endogenous demand shock. Furthermore, it is shown that incorporating RI can provide an additional internal propa...
متن کاملTravel Time Variability and Airport Accessibility
This paper analyses the cost of access travel time variability for air travelers. Reliable access to airports is important since it is likely that the cost of missing a flight is high. First, the determinants of the preferred arrival times at airports are analyzed, including trip purpose, type of airport, flight characteristics, travel experience, type of check-in, need to check-in luggage. Sec...
