We investigate the origin of stochastic choice and differentiate between three classes of models that account for it: Random Utility, Bounded Rationality, and Deliberate Randomization. We conduct an experiment in which subjects face the same questions repeated multiple times, but we consider...

In contrast with the "missing micro-foundations" argument against Keynes's macroeconomics, the paper argues that it is the present state of microeconomics that needs more solid "Keynesian foundations". It is in particular Keynes's understanding of investors' behaviour that can be fruitfully...

Assuming a risk-neutral bank and assuming household utility to be exponential, we show how under information symmetry the covariance of income and loan repayments may explain higher household borrowings than in the case without default option. Under ex post information asymmetry and positive...
