我们介绍了一种简单的方法，从选择数据中恢复注意力成本。我们的方法建立在与生产理论的精确类比之上。注意力的成本决定了消费者的需求和消费者的福利，就像一个有竞争力的公司的技术决定了它的供给曲线和利润一样。我们实验性地实施我们的恢复方法，概述应用程序，并将我们的工作与更广泛的关于注意力不集中和错误决策的文献联系起来。
We introduce a simple method of recovering attention costs from choice data. Our method rests on a precise analogy with production theory. Costs of attention determine consumer demand and consumer welfare, just as a competitive firm's technology determines its supply curve and profits. We implement our recovery method experimentally, outline applications, and link our work to the broader literature on inattention and mistaken decisions.
