While standard economic theory takes individual preferences as stable and “given”, i.e., independent of situational context, real-world preferences tend to vary with changing opportunity sets. This is exemplified by Aesop’s fable of the fox and the sour grapes. This phenomenon of...

People believe that, even in very large samples, proportions of binary signals might depart significantly from the population mean.  We model this "non-belief in the Law of Large Numbers" by assuming that a person believes that proportions in any given sample might be determined by a rate...

We use a novel field experiment which jointly tests two implicit assumptions of updating models in a joint framework …: that new information leads to new knowledge and that new knowledge can affect economic decisions. In the experiment, we … consistent with a model of incomplete learning, fatigue and either confirmation bias or costly search coupled with unbiased …
