Taxpayer Search for Information : Implications for Rational Attention
Hoopes, Jeffrey L. - 2015
We examine data on capital-gains-tax-related information search to determine when and how taxpayers acquire information …. We find seasonal increases in information search around tax deadlines, suggesting that taxpayers seek information to … comply with tax law. Positive correlations between stock market activity and search as well as year-end spikes in information …

Rationalizable Outcome Distributions : A Markov Characterization
Veiel, Rafael; Gossner, Olivier - 2022
We study (interim correlated) rationalizability in a game with incomplete information. We characterize the recursive set of possible rationalizable hierarchies through a finite automaton and provide a revelation principle that characterizes the distributions over these hierarchies that arise...

What does economics assume about people's knowledge? : who knows?
Caleiro, António - 2007 - 1st version: April 15, 2007, this version: October 16, 2007
The purpose of the paper is to explore, from an assessment viewpoint, the ideas below. Economics, as a social science, has always considered sets of individuals with assumed characteristics, namely the level of knowledge, although in an implicit way in most of the cases. In this sense, an...

Uncertain rationality, depth of reasoning and robustness in games with incomplete information
Germano, Fabrizio; Weinstein, Jonathan; Zuazo-Garin, Peio - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 15 (2020) 1, pp. 89-122
Predictions under common knowledge of payoffs may differ from those under arbitrarily, but finitely, many orders of mutual knowledge; Rubinstein's (1989)Email game is a seminal example. Weinstein and Yildiz (2007) showed that the discontinuity in the example generalizes: for all types with...

The dynamics of inattention in the (baseball) field
Archsmith, James; Heyes, Anthony; Neidell, Matthew; … - 2021
Recent theoretical and empirical work characterizes attention as a limited resource that decision-makers strategically allocate. There has been less research on the dynamic interdependence of attention: how paying attention now may affect performance later. In this paper, we exploit...

Economic emergence: An evolutionary economic perspective
Foster, John; Metcalfe, J. Stan - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 82 (2012) 2, pp. 420-432
The standard neoclassical approach to economic theorising excludes, by definition, economic emergence and the related phenomenon of entrepreneurship. We explore how the most economic of human behaviours, entrepreneurship, came to be largely excluded from mainstream economic theory. In contrast,...

How to cope with (new) uncertainties : a bounded rationality approach
Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - 2015
A rigorous reconstruction of scenario-based real choice making reveals the incompleteness of decision-modeling and the practical prevalence of uncertainty. Theoretically complete models conceal it. As a remedy a scenario-based procedure of coping with uncertainty can prescribe how the boundedly...
