Rationally inattentive behavior: Characterizing and generalizing Shannon entropy

A Caplin, M Dean, J Leahy - Journal of Political Economy, 2022 - journals.uchicago.edu
We introduce three new classes of attention cost functions: posterior separable, uniformly
posterior separable, and invariant posterior separable. As with the Shannon cost function, all …

Rational inattention, optimal consideration sets, and stochastic choice

A Caplin, M Dean, J Leahy - The Review of Economic Studies, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We unite two basic approaches to modelling limited attention in choice by showing that the
