Not for quotation without Permission. Abstract We model and measure how households allocate online attention, and assess if and how online attention changed between 2008 and 2013, a time of large increases in online offerings, e.g., video and access points. We calculate our measures using click-stream data for thousands of U.S. households. We find that general measures of breadth and depth of online attention are remarkably stable over this period, while shares of domain categories markedly change – with video and social media expanding, and chat and news contracting. We illustrate how this finding is difficult to reconcile with standard models of optimal time allocation, and suggest alternatives that may be more suitable. The fact that increasingly valuable offerings change where households go online, but not their general (i.e., breadth/depth) online attention patterns, has important implications for competition and welfare.

Introduction “…in an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently
