Bounded rationality theories are typically characterized over exhaustive data sets. We develop a methodology to understand the empirical content of such theories with limited data, adapting the classic, revealed-preference approach to new forms of revealed information. We apply our approach to...

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...

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 …

Satisficing is a hugely influential model of boundedly rational choice, yet it cannot be easily tested using standard … choice data. We develop necessary and sufficient conditions for stochastic choice data to be consistent with satisficing …, assuming that preferences are fixed, but search order may change randomly. The model predicts that stochastic choice can only …
