We propose an extension of Tversky's lexicographic semiorder to a model of boundedly rational choice. We explore the … connection with sequential rationalisability of choice, and we provide axiomatic characterisations of both models in terms of … observable choice data. …

We introduce and study the problem of manipulation of choice behavior. In a class of two-stage models of decision … framework, which overlaps with two existing models of choice under cognitive constraints, we provide a complete answer to this …

Much progress has been made in recent years on developing and applying a direct measure of utility using survey questions on subjective well-being. In this paper we explore whether this new type of measurement can be fruitfully applied to the study of interdependent utility in general, and...

We compare the empirical performance of unitary and collective labor supply models, using representative data from the Dutch DNB Household Survey. We conduct a nonparametric analysis that avoids the distortive impact of an erroneously specified functional form for the preferences and/or the...

We extend the nonparametric ‘revealed preference’ methodology for analyzing collective consumption behavior (with consumption externalities and public consumption), to render it useful for empirical applications that deal with welfare-related questions. First, we provide a nonparametric...
