The episodic random utility model unifies time trade-off and discrete choice approaches in health state valuation
BACKGROUND To present an episodic random utility model that unifies time trade-off and discrete choice approaches in health state valuation. METHODS First, we introduce two alternative random utility models (RUMs) for health preferences: the episodic RUM and the more common instant RUM. For the interpretation of time trade-off (TTO) responses, we show that the episodic model implies a coeffic...
متن کاملFuzzy Random Utility Choice Models: The Case of Telecommuting Suitability
Random utility models have been widely used in many diverse fields. Considering utility as a random variable opened many new analytical doors to researchers in explaining behavioral phenomena. Introducing and incorporating the random error term into the utility function had several reasons, including accounting for unobserved variables. This paper incorporates fuzziness into random utility mode...
متن کاملPrices in the Utility Function and Demand Monotonicity
We analyze utility functions when they depend both on the quantity of the goods consumed by the agent and on the prices of the goods. This approach allows us to model price e¤ects on agents’ preferences (e.g. the so-called Veblen e¤ect and the Patinkin formulation). We provide su‰cient conditions to observe demand monotonicity and substitution among goods. Power utility functions are investigat...
متن کاملNon-Monotonicity and Divergent Time Scale in Axelrod Model Dynamics
– We study the evolution of the Axelrod model for cultural diversity, a prototypical nonequilibrium process that exhibits rich dynamics and a dynamic phase transition between diversity and an inactive state. We consider a simple version of the model in which each individual possesses two features that can assume q possibilities. Within a mean-field description in which each individual has just ...
متن کاملNon Observability in the Random Oracle Model
The Random Oracle Model, introduced by Bellare and Rogaway, provides a method to heuristically argue about the security of cryptographic primitives and protocols. The basis of this heuristic is that secure hash functions are close enough to random functions in their behavior, and so, a primitive that is secure using a random function should continue to remain secure even when the random functio...
