Behavioral implementation

G De Clippel - American Economic Review, 2014 - aeaweb.org
Implementation theory assumes that participants' choices are rational, in the sense of being
consistent with the maximization of a context-independent preference. The paper …

Unleashing animal spirits: Self-control and overpricing in experimental asset markets

MG Kocher, KE Lucks… - The Review of Financial …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
One explanation for overpricing on asset markets is a lack of traders' self-control. We
implement the first experiment to address the causal relationship between self-control and …

Bounded rationality in choice theory: A survey

G de Clippel, K Rozen - Journal of economic literature, 2024 - pubs.aeaweb.org
A vibrant literature incorporates elements of bounded rationality into choice theory. We
survey this work, discussing five central ways in which the literature has modeled departures …

Progressive random choice

E Filiz-Ozbay, Y Masatlioglu - Journal of Political Economy, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
We introduce a flexible framework to study probabilistic choice that accommodates
heterogeneous types and bounded rationality. We provide a novel progressive structure for …

The focal Luce model

M Kovach, G Tserenjigmid - American Economic Journal …, 2022 - aeaweb.org
Abstract We introduce the Focal Luce Model (FLM), a random choice model that generalizes

A theory of reference point formation

Ö Kıbrıs, Y Masatlioglu, E Suleymanov - Economic Theory, 2021 - Springer
We introduce a model of reference-dependent choice where the reference point is
endogenously determined through maximization of a conspicuity ranking. This subjective …

Menu-dependent self-control

J Noor, N Takeoka - Journal of Mathematical Economics, 2015 - Elsevier
The literature on self-control problems has typically put forth models that imply behavior that
is consistent with the weak axiom of revealed preference (WARP). We argue that when …

A simple model of two-stage choice

S Horan - Journal of Economic Theory, 2016 - Elsevier
I provide choice-theoretic foundations for a simple two-stage model, called transitive shortlist
methods, where choices are made by sequentially by applying a pair of transitive …

Naivete about temptation and self-control: Foundations for recursive naive quasi-hyperbolic discounting

DS Ahn, R Iijima, T Sarver - Journal of Economic Theory, 2020 - Elsevier
We introduce and characterize a recursive model of dynamic choice that accommodates
naivete about present bias. While recursive representations are important for infinite-horizon …

Bayesian identification: a theory for state-dependent utilities

J Lu - American Economic Review, 2019 - aeaweb.org
We provide a revealed preference methodology for identifying beliefs and utilities that can
vary across states. A notion of comparative informativeness is introduced that is weaker than …
