We propose an abstract method of systematically assigning a "rational"' ranking to non-rationalizable choice data. We define an individual welfare functional as a mapping from stochastic choice functions into weak orders. A stochastic choice function (or choice distribution) gives the empirical...

In many situations, agents are involved in an allocation problem that is followed by another allocation problem whose optimal solution depends on how the former problem has been solved. In this paper, we take this dynamic structure of allocation problems as an institutional constraint. By...

This paper decision-theoretically investigates belief aggregation method which allows consistently updating the aggregate belief.After confirming that the Pareto axiom and dynamic consistency require decision power of an individual to evolve proportionally to how much his/her prior has been...
