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 study two dimensions of complexity that may interfere with individual choice. The first one is object complexity …, which corresponds to the difficulty in evaluating any given alternative in a choice set. The second dimension is composition … complexity, which increases when suboptimal alternatives become more similar to optimal ones. We develop a satisficing …

When making choices, decision makers often either lack information about alternatives or lack the cognitive capacity to analyze every alternative. To capture these situations, we formulate a framework to study behavioral search by utilizing the idea of consideration sets. Consumers engage in a...

A belief operator derived from preferences is presented. It generalizes ‘belief with probability1’ to incomplete preferences and satisfies minimal requirements for belief operators under weak conditions.

We show how different kinds of belief operators derived from preferences can be defined in terms an accessibility relation of epistemic priority, and characterized by means of a vector of nested accessibility relations. The semantic structure is used to reconcile and compare certain non-standard...
