Hora: 12:30 horas
Lugar: Sala Consejo (401) – Beauchef 851, piso 4 | Departamento de Ingeniería Industrial
Título de la charla: “Attention-based Utility”
Presenta: George Loewenstein, Herbert A. Simon University Professor of Economics an Psychology al 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.
