Revealed Incomplete Preferences under Uncertainty
In this paper we experimentally document the existence of incomplete preferences in decision making under uncertainty. In a series of incentivized decision tasks subjects have to choose between a risky and an ambiguous prospect. Active choices between prospects can as well be avoided by selecting a fair chance device that eventually assigns one of the two prospects to the decision maker. We obs...
متن کاملRevealed Preferences for Risk and Ambiguity
We replicate the essentials of the Huettel et al. (2006) experiment on choice under uncertainty with 30 Yale undergraduates, where subjects make 200 pairwise choices between risky and ambiguous lotteries. Inferences about the independence of economic preferences for risk and ambiguity are derived from estimation of a mixed logit model, where the choice probabilities are functions of two random ...
متن کاملParties with Policy Preferences and Uncertainty Over Voter Behavior
The equilibrium redistributive policy proposals of two parties with policy preferences is studied. Each party’s ideal policy coincides with that of citizens having a particular income level, and the party’s utility function reflects its attitude to the trade-off between choice of preferred policy and likelihood of victory. When parties face uncertainty about citizens’ abstention from voting, di...
متن کاملTax - benefit revealed redistributive preferences over time : Ireland 1987 - 2005
By inverting Saez (2002)s model of optimal income taxation, we characterize the redistributive preferences of the Irish government between 1987 and 2005. The (marginal) social welfare function revealed by this approach is consistently comparable over time and show great stability despite profound changes in market incomes and important scal reforms over the period. Results are robust to numer...
متن کاملOptimal Recommendation Sets: Covering Uncertainty over User Preferences
We propose an approach to recommendation systems that optimizes over possible sets of recommended alternatives in a decision-theoretic manner. Our approach selects the alternative set that maximizes the expected valuation of the user’s choice from the recommended set. The set-based optimization explicitly recognizes the opportunity for passing residual uncertainty about preferences back to the ...
