It shows that the endogenous decision to collect information before taking an action creates a systematic and testable bias in the aggregate behavior of rational, profit-maximizing agents. More precisely, individuals will have a tendency to bias their decisi...

Such proposals may account for a defining characteristic of agrammatic sentence production: reduced syntactic complexity. Syntactic structures that require deep hie...

We consider a model where two adversaries can spend resources in acquiring public information about the unknown state of the world in order to influence the choice of a decision maker. We characterize the sampling strategies of the adversaries in the equilibrium of the game. We show that as the cost of information acquisition for one adversary increases, that person collects less evidence where...
