Economic modeling assumes, for the most part, that agents are Bayesian, that is, that they entertain probabilistic beliefs, objective or subjective, regarding any event in question. We argue that the formation of such beliefs calls for a deeper examination and for explicit modeling. Models of...

We model inter-temporal ambiguity as the scenario in which a Bayesian learner holds more than one prior distribution over a set of parameters and provide necessary and sufficient condition for ambiguity to fade away because of learning. Our condition applies to most learning environments: iid...

Some frameworks of model uncertainty combine a large number of densities. Computing the quantiles of the combined distribution might be practically infeasible when the number of densities is large. We introduce a numerical procedure that can reduce the computational burden. This consists of...

The ability to uncover preferences from choices is fundamental for both positive economics and welfare analysis. Overwhelming evidence shows that choice is stochastic, which has given rise to random utility models as the dominant paradigm in applied microeconomics. However, as is well known, it...
