Events at CERGE-EI

We make decisions in an environment flooded with information – but how much of it do we actually perceive? How does inattention affect markets, companies, elections, and economic policy? We invite you to a lecture by Professor Filip Matějka from CERGE-EI, winner of the Neuron Prize, who will explain why research into rational inattention is essential for understanding human behavior today and offer recommendations relevant to economic policy and social practice. 

The lecture will follow up on Filip's article "Rational Inattention to Discrete Choices," the world's most cited theoretical publication in economics in recent years, which expanded the concept of rational inattention. This concept has fundamentally changed the understanding of decision-making under conditions of limited attention and laid a new foundation for modern economic models.

The lecture will be held in Czech and is intended for invited guests only.
