Collective decision making requires preference aggregation even if no ideal aggregation method exists (Arrow, 1950). We … the people." Our experiment elicits revealed attitudes toward ordinal preference aggregation and classifies subjects …

A central feature of dynamic collective decision-making is that the rules that govern the procedures for future … decision-making and the distribution of political power across players are determined by current decisions. For example … dynamic collective decision-making: (1) a social arrangement is made stable by the instability of alternative arrangements …

Social identities prescribe behaviors for people. We identify the marginal behavioral effect of these norms on discount rates and risk aversion by measuring how laboratory subjects' choices change when an aspect of social identity is made salient. When we make ethnic identity salient to...

We study a variant of a random utility model that takes a probability distribution over preference relations as its primitive. We do not model products using a space of observed characteristics. The distribution of preferences is only partially identified using cross-sectional data on varying...

The widely-used estimator of Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (1995) produces estimates of consumer preferences from a discrete-choice demand model with random coefficients, market-level demand shocks and endogenous prices. We derive numerical theory results characterizing the properties of the nested...
