When making choices, decision makers often either lack information about alternatives or lack the cognitive capacity to analyze every alternative. To capture these situations, we formulate a framework to study behavioral search by utilizing the idea of consideration sets. Consumers engage in a...

Guided by evidence from eye-tracking studies of choice, pairwise comparison is assumed to be the building block of the … comparisons gradually, easier comparisons preceding difficult ones. Facing a choice problem she may be unable to complete all … relevant comparisons and choose with equal odds from alternatives not found inferior. Stochastic choice data consistent with …

We present a new notion of cardinal revealed preference that exploits the expenditure information in classical consumer theory environments with finite data. We propose a new behavioral axiom, Acyclic Enticement (AE), that requires the acyclicity of the cardinal revealed-preference relation. AE...

We study two dimensions of complexity that may interfere with individual choice. The first one is object complexity …, which corresponds to the difficulty in evaluating any given alternative in a choice set. The second dimension is composition … complexity, which increases when suboptimal alternatives become more similar to optimal ones. We develop a satisficing …

Given any observed finite sequence of prices, wealth and demand choices, we characterize the relation between its underlying Slutsky matrix norm (SMN) and some popular discrete revealed preference (RP) measures of departures from rationality, such as the Afriat index. We show that testing...
