Identifying present bias from the timing of choices
P Heidhues, P Strack - American Economic Review, 2021 - aeaweb.org
A (partially naïve) quasi-hyperbolic discounter repeatedly chooses whether to complete a
task. Her net benefits of task completion are drawn independently between periods from a …

Attention capture
A Koh, S Sanguanmoo - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.05570, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the extent to which information can be used to extract attention from a decision
maker (DM). All feasible stopping times $\unicode {x2013} $ random times DM stops paying …

Costly information acquisition
We provide revealed preference characterizations for choices made under various forms of
costly information acquisition. We examine nonseparable, multiplicative, and constrained …

A population's feasible posterior beliefs
I Arieli, Y Babichenko - Proceedings of the 23rd ACM Conference on …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We consider a population of Bayesian agents who share a common prior over some finite
state space and each agent is exposed to some information about the state. We ask which …

Dynamic preference “reversals” and time inconsistency
P Strack, D Taubinsky - 2021 - nber.org
Time inconsistency leads people to revise earlier plans, which has motivated empirical
designs attempting to document such choice revisions. We study identification of time …

Uncertain repeated games
I Krasikov, R Lamba - Available at SSRN 4222516, 2023 - papers.ssrn.com
Multiple long run players play one amongst multiple possible stage games in each period.
They observe and recall past play and are aware of the current stage game being played …

[PDF][PDF] Strategic ignorance and information design
We study information design in strategic settings when agents can publicly commit to not
view their private signals. Ignoring the constraints that agents must be willing to view their …

Dynamic Choices and Common Learning
R Deb, L Renou - arXiv preprint arXiv:2105.03683, 2021 - arxiv.org
A researcher observes a finite sequence of choices made by multiple agents in a binary-
state environment. Agents maximize expected utilities that depend on their chosen …

[PDF][PDF] Robust predictions in dynamic policy games
J Passadore, JP Xandri - Theoretical Economics, 2018 - red-files-public.s3.amazonaws.com
Dynamic policy games feature a wide range of equilibria. This paper provides a
methodology for obtaining robust predictions. We begin by focusing on a model of sovereign …
