Job Market Paper: Costly Job Search with Inattentive Workers (Mismatch due to cognitive imprecision?)
Incomplete information in the labour market remains an issue as workers can be inattentive and face decision on how much information to acquire and process before applying to jobs. This research aims to extend existing partially directed search model to account for diverse priors, multiple equilibria and heterogeneous attention costs.
