We introduce an information provision experiment into a standard dynamic rational inattention
model. We derive analytical results about how the treatment effect varies with characteristics
of the environment and the individual. We use these results to discuss findings in
the empirical literature on information provision experiments that can be explained by rational
inattention of survey respondents and what this interpretation implies about behavior outside
the survey.
