“…More specifically, investors are inattentive to their portfolios (Bonaparte and Cooper, 2009;Brunnermeier and Nagel, 2008;Gabaix and Laibson, 2002;Reis, 2006;Woodford, 2009) and may actively avoid looking at their financial portfolios when the stock market is down (Karlsson et al, 2009;Sicherman et al, 2015). Moreover, individuals at risk for health conditions often eschew medical tests (e.g., for serious genetic conditions or STDs) even when the information is costless and should, logically, help them to make better decisions (Ganguly and Tasoff, 2014;Sullivan et al, 2004;Lerman et al, 1996Lerman et al, , 1999Lyter et al, 1987;Oster et al, 2013;Thornton, 2008). Finally, managers often avoid hearing arguments that conflict with their preliminary decisions (see, e.g., Schulz-Hardt et al, 2000), even though such arguments could help them avoid implementing measures that are ill-founded.…”
