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...

In stated choice (SC) data inconsistent and lexicographic choice behavior is often observed. It is sometimes recommended to remove data with these characteristics from the analysis. In this paper we reconsider this recommendation. In our data many respondents have inconsistent choice patterns,...

A decision maker (DM) makes choices from different sets of alternatives. The DM is initially fully ignorant of the payoff associated to each alternative, and learns these payoffs only after a large number of choices have been made. We show that, in the presence of an outside option once payoffs...
