讲座概要：A time allocation model is introduced to analyse choice overload situations suffered by consumers in their decision making processes. Time variables have previously been proposed as relevant whenever choice overload is discussed. Under a time allocation perspective, we develop a standard model in economic theory where a rational consumer is likely to suffer from main choice overload phenomena. Thus, this paper provides first theoretical conditions which explain two of the most puzzling choice overload effects in economics: the paradox of choice and the paralysis effect.
