Rationalization of choice when preferences are vague
In this paper, we discuss the decision situation where the (vague) preferences are represented by fuzzy relations. There are two ways to interpret this situation: (i) an individual decision maker chooses perfect rankings from a set and uses that combination of rankings as her/his preference ranking. (ii) or a group of decision makers are reporting perfect rankings but their group decision is a ...
متن کاملEmpirical welfare analysis: when preferences matter
Fleurbaey and Maniquet have proposed the criteria of conditional equality and of egalitarian equivalence to assess the equity among individuals in an ordinal setting. Empirical applications are rare and only partially consistent with their framework. We propose a new empirical approach that relies on individual preferences, is consistent with the ordinal criteria and enables to compare them wit...
متن کاملImplementing Preferences with asprin
asprin offers a framework for expressing and evaluating combinations of quantitative and qualitative preferences among the stable models of a logic program. In this paper, we demonstrate the generality and flexibility of the methodology by showing how easily existing preference relations can be implemented in asprin. Moreover, we show how the computation of optimal stable models can be improved...
متن کاملWho Are The Worst - Off When Preferences Matter ∗
The criteria called conditional equality and egalitarian equivalence proposed by Fleurbaey and Maniquet[15, 16] serve to assess the degree of equity among individuals. They have not been applied as often as the criteria of equality of opportunity[28, 30], mainly because the first criteria should be used in an ordinal framework which differs from the cardinal approach usually adopted in the lite...
متن کاملOptimal Estimation when Researcher and Social Preferences are Misaligned
Econometric analysis typically focuses on the statistical properties of fixed estimators. In practice, however, researchers may have preferences over estimates and engage in specification searches. In this paper, I approach the analysis of experimental data as a mechanism-design problem. Specifically, I focus on covariate adjustments, which can increase precision, but open the door to bias when...
