A philosophical and formal analysis of pairwise preferences. Discussions of symbolic representation and computation more generally. Development of various types of analyses which can be performed on pairwise preference data and their properties

In the generalized expected utility framework, the multiplicative relationship between preferences and beliefs complicates the identification of risk preferences. In experimental or field settings, the respondent's decision weight must be known with certainty to confidently infer accurate...

An emerging literature highlights the importance of empowering women. Female decision-making power is typically measured by surveying only one partner, but the few studies surveying both have documented large differences in perceptions. We analyze these perceptions and their consequences, using...

There is great interest in understanding the value of data, and different empirical approaches have begun to be explored, in the academic literature and in commercial contexts. However, the existence of informational externalities and the non-rival character of data immediately imply that...

This paper presents a nonparametric approach to classification of data from lottery experiments. Using very basic mathematical tools the paper endeavors to answer the questions: How to determine the "average" subject in a group? How to find a subject presenting the most similar behavior to a...

This paper builds on data from a recent survey on the financial and organizational policy of real estate agents in Cyprus. For the data analysis we used the appropriate methods of classical statistics and multidimensional analysis, as Test X2, Correspondence Analysis, Comparative Evaluation and...

Economic analysis has said little about how an individual's cognitive skills (CS's) are related to the individual's preferences in different choice domains, such as risk-taking or saving, and how preferences in different domains are related to each other. Using a sample of 1,000 trainee truckers...

How is econometric analysis (of partial adjustment models) affected by the fact that, while data collection is done at regular, fixed intervals of time, economic decisions are made at random intervals of time? This paper addresses this question by modelling the economic decision making process...
