Market design with endogenous preferences
This paper explores the interdependence between market structure and an important class of extra-rational cognitive biases. Starting with a familiar bilateral monopoly framework, we characterize the endogenous emergence of preference distortions during bargainging which cause negotiators to perceive their private valuations differently than they would outside the adversarial negotiation context...
متن کاملPublic preferences and the challenge to genetic research policy
Modern genetic research requires scientists to collect, store, and study DNA samples and health information from thousands of people. Longstanding policy allows researchers to use samples and information without a person's informed consent as long as the person's identity is protected. Under existing policy, researchers must neither disclose study results to interested research participants nor...
متن کاملEndogenous Public Policy and Long-Run Growth: Some Simple Analytics
We study the determinants of voting outcomes on the provision of public consumption through marginal income taxes in the context of the simple linear growth model. We provide analytical results on how the dynamic politicoeconomic equilibrium maps the economic fundamentals to policies and long-run growth. We find that in a deterministic growth environment voters internalize, although imperfectly...
متن کاملOptimal Policy with Heterogeneous Preferences
Optimal policy rules—including those regarding income taxation, commodity taxation, public goods, and externalities—are typically derived in models with homogeneous preferences. This article reconsiders many central results for the case in which preferences for commodities, public goods, and externalities are heterogeneous. When preference differences are observable, standard second-best result...
متن کاملEndogenous Majority Rules with Changing Preferences
This paper provides a new explanation why several US states have implemented supermajority requirements for tax increases.We model a dynamic and stochastic OLG economy where individual preferences depend on age and change over time in a systematic way. In this setting, we show that the first population of voters will choose a supermajority rule in order to influence the outcomes of future elect...
