Martin VAETH (PSE) will present "Attention and Regret"
Abstract: This paper develops an evolutionary foundation for regret theory. Our model considers agents who underinvest in attention (e.g., due to present bias) and studies which emotional responses to decision outcomes would best incentivize appropriate attention. We prove that regret emerges as the uniquely optimal emotion. Our evolutionary approach provides a criterion to arbitrate between different versions of regret theory and generates new predictions. Notably, regret exhibits a self-blame dimension: regret is stronger for decision problems where the right choice was easier to discover.
