Abstract
⺠We study the dynamics of a simple macroeconomic model under optimized rationality. ⺠Optimized rational behavior implies weighting costs of information acquisition. ⺠Agents may find it optimal to purchase an imperfect signal on true future values. ⺠The selection of an optimal degree of rationality deviates the economy from the perfect foresight outcome. ⺠The rationality assumption eventually generates long-term endogenous fluctuations, that otherwise are absent.
