The extent to which people, companies or organisations are attentive to particular features or aspects of buying, selling or investing can have serious repercussions on the economy. An EU initiative is exploring the effects of limited attention by various economic agents on the economy and its policies.
With EU funding, the LIMITED_ATTENTION (Evolutionary, social, and strategic aspects of limited attention and economic policy implications) project is examining how limited attention evolved as well as the social and strategic features of assigning limited attention and how it impacts political economics and public policy.
