The Canonical Type Space for Interdependent Preferences†
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a model of interdependent preference types to capture situations where an agent’s preferences depend on the characteristics and personalities of others. We define a canonical type space and provide conditions under which an abstract type space is a component of the canonical type space. As an application, we develop a model of reciprocity in which agents reward the kindness of other agents. † This research was supported by grants SES9911177, SES0236882, SES9905178 and SES0214050 from the National Science Foundation.

Assessment of user preferences of campus green space at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad-Iran
Researchers have found that a user’s perception of the campus environment is related to quality life and academic accomplishment. In this study, we have analyzed the perceptions of more than 600 users at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad to evaluate the level of green space use and to understand user preferences from aesthetics and safety aspects. The results show that for most of the responde...
متن کاملInterdependent preference models as a theory of intentions
We provide a preference framework for situations in which “intentions matter.” A behavioral type describes the individual’s observable characteristics and the individual’s personality. We define a canonical behavioral type space and provide a condition that identifies collections of behavioral types that are equivalent to components of the canonical type space. We also develop a reciprocity mod...
متن کاملInterdependent preferences and strategic distinguishability
We study agents whose expected utility preferences are interdependent for informational or psychological reasons. We characterize when two types can be “strategically distinguished” in the sense that they are guaranteed to behave differently in some finite mechanism. We show that two types are strategically distinguishable if and only if they have different hierarchies of interdependent prefere...
متن کاملEconomies with a measure space of agents and a separable commodity space
We prove the existence of an equilibrium in an economy with a measure space of agents and a separable Banach commodity space whose positive cone admits an interior point. We follow the truncation argument given at the end of Yannelis [Yannelis, N.C., 1987. Equilibria in noncooperative models of competition, J. Econ. Theory 41, 96–111] and the abstract economy approach as in Shafer [Shafer, W., ...

Urban areas are the most important place to the formation of citizen action, agency, possibility and context of social functions.
