3rd Conference on Rational Inattention and Related Topics
This unique conference will present several of the most recent papers that focus on the theory and applications of rational inattention. The common theme of this topic is that economic agents cannot pay attention to all available information regardless of its source, namely whether it is presented in the media, communicated by a friend or spread upon request at an agency. The presented applications span empirical evidence on the features of the implied behavior, theoretical findings as well as implications for political economy, tax theory or business cycles.
Confirmed speakers:
- Christopher Sims, Princeton University
- Mirko Wiederholt, Goethe University, Frankfurt
- Bartosz Maćkowiak, European Central Bank
- Andrew Caplin, New York University
- Mark Dean, Columbia University
Submission deadline: 22 April, 2016
