Abstract
This paper introduces a formal model of internal constraints that derives the link between initial disadvantage with aspirations and choices. We show how the cognitive windows of individuals are endogenously determined and show how an individual's cognitive neighbors impacts on internal constraints. Our analysis suggests that accounting for poverty traps requires an account of how the external disadvantage and internal constraints interact and provides a justification for intervention programs that aim to shock aspirations directly and seek to empower participants.
