Many theoretical models of stochastic choice are characterized by availability variation. Instead, most stochastic choice datasets have information on attribute values that vary across decision problems. This paper uses attribute variation to characterize a framework that encompasses existing...

Individual choices are often inconsistent with economic theories, which has motivated a variety of ways to measure how far choices are from a given theory. Recent work has investigated the correlation between measures of rationality and observable information such as education or income. This...

This paper takes seriously that the quasilinear utility model is an approximation. We interpret approximation error as arising because individuals are satisficers. We investigate the consequences of individual satisficng for modelling aggregate demand, providing an approximate aggregation...

Applied research often tolerates misspecification in order to reach informative conclusions. We focus on how the degree of misspecification varies with the level of aggregation of data for quasilinear utility models. We present aggregation results formalizing that the model cannot get worse when...

We present a tractable generalization of quantal response equilibrium via non-expected utility preferences. In particular, we introduce concave perturbed utility games in which an individual has strategy-specific utility indices that depend on the outcome of the game and an additively separable...

This paper presents a cardinal measure of choice consistency for perturbed utility models. The measure of choice consistency is built on additive errors to the model. The additive errors are meaningful since the perturbed utility model is cardinal and utility differences are meaningful. We...
