Seminario ISCI – MIPP “Attention-based Utility”.
Presenta: George Loewenstein – Herbert A. Simon University Professor of Economics and Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
Abstract: In this talk, I will explore key aspects of human attention that hold particular significance for economics, leading to the introduction of the concept of attention-based utility. This concept highlights how an individual’s well-being at any moment is shaped not only by their objective circumstances but also by what they focus on—whether that involves their surroundings, internal states, or memories. I will then present findings from a field study and three experiments that demonstrate how investor attention is shaped by hedonic factors, and examine the resulting impact on investor behavior.
