Rationalizing Choice Functions by Multiple Rationales
Imagine that you receive information on the choices made by a decision maker (DM) from all subsets of some set X. You know nothing about the context of these choices. You look for an explanation for the DM’s behavior. You would probably look first for a single rationale explaining the behavior. Specifically, you would seek a rationalizing ordering—that is, a linear ordering on X, such that for ...

Optimize the given index Select an available alternative that is at least as good as every other available alternative with respect to the given index. Optimization Select an available alternative that is at least as good as every other available alternative with respect to the given binary relation.

متن کاملRATIONALIZING CHOICE WITH MULTI-SELF MODELS By
This paper studies a class of multi-self decision-making models proposed in economics, psychology, and marketing. In this class, choices arise from the set-dependent aggregation of a collection of utility functions, where the aggregation procedure satisfies some simple properties. We propose a method for characterizing the extent of irrationality in a choice behavior, and use this measure to pr...
متن کاملRationalizing Choice with Multi-Self Models
This paper shows that in situations in which the preferences of multiple selves are aggregated into a collective decision, even if the researcher has a fully specified theory of how preferences get aggregated, there are typically no testable implications of the theory unless there is an a priori restriction on the number of selves. This result has implications in both interpersonal and intraper...
