This paper develops an agent-based model of learning process that systematically organizes actual choice behavior along the path to equilibrium. The model relies on expected utility maximization to provide directions for economic agents to make choices at the margin toward their ends in adaptive...

We first elicit measures of individual preferences and then manipulate the … differing complexity between the two formats rather than non-standard preferences. …

We consider a formal approach to comparative risk aversion and applies it to intertemporal choice models. This allows us to ask whether standard classes of utility functions, such as those inspired by Kihlstrom and Mirman [15], Selden [26], Epstein and Zin [9] and Quiggin [24] are well-ordered...

Combining a standard measure of concern about low relative wealth and a standard measure of relative risk aversion leads to a novel explanation of variation in risk-taking behavior identified and documented by social psychologists and economists. We obtain two results: (1) Holding individual i's...
