Abstract
This dissertation examines how agents process information and how it diffuses through the economy, with particular attention to the roles of gender and technological innovation. Chapters 1 and 3 study how gender shapes the interpretation of information about firm performance. Chapter 2 focuses on the diffusion of novel technologies across geography and labor markets. Together, the three chapters contribute to our understanding of the economics of information by showing how identity and context shape the way agents interpret and act on new information.
