We consider an information design problem in which a sender tries to persuade receiver that has “correlation neglect,” i.e., fails understand signals might be correlated. show with unlimited number of can fully manipulate the receiver. Specifically, induce hold any state-dependent posterior she wishes to. If only state-independent posterior, use correlated signals, but generally needs more invo...

We study social learning in a continuous action space experiment. Subjects, acting sequence, state their beliefs about the value of good after observing predecessors’ statements and private signal. compare behavior laboratory with Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium prediction predictions bounded rationality models decision-making: redundancy information neglect model overconfidence model. The results...

Alignment of prokaryotic and vertebrate type II thymidine kinases (TK) (EC 2.7.1.21), such as that encoded by vaccinia virus (VVTK), reveals three conserved regions: designated domains I, III, and VII. Domains I and III of VVTK contain residues which closely resemble segments A (ATP) and B (Mg2+), respectively, of a Mg.ATP binding descriptor proposed previously (Walker, J.E., Saraster, M., Runs...

We relate two main representations of the cost acquiring information: a that depends on experiment performed, as in statistical decision theory, and distribution posterior beliefs, applications rational inattention. show many cases interest, posterior-based costs are inconsistent with primitive model costly experimentation. The inconsistency is at core known limits to application inattention ga...
