Reference-dependent preferences for maternity wards: an exploration of two reference points
It is now well established that a person's valuation of the benefit from an outcome of a decision is determined by the intrinsic "consumption utility" of the outcome itself and also by the relation of the outcome to some reference point. The most notable expression of such reference-dependent preferences is loss aversion. What precisely this reference point is, however, is less clear. This pape...
متن کاملDynamic Reference-Dependent Preferences
We develop a dynamic model of reference-dependent preferences in which each period’s utility depends not only on that period’s consumption, but also on recent changes in beliefs about consumption: a person derives contemporaneous gain-loss utility from the comparison of this period’s outcome to previous beliefs, and prospective gain-loss utility from a change in her beliefs about future outcome...
متن کاملBargaining with Reference Dependent Preferences
We posit that parties assess bargaining outcomes not in absolute terms but in relative terms vis a vis reference points and we assume that reference points are a ected by prior o ers. In a simple bargaining model, we illustrate how such evolving preferences may be responsible for gradualism and delay in bargaining. We observe that the resulting ine ciency may not vanish even in the limit as the...
متن کاملA Model of Reference-Dependent Preferences
We develop a model that fleshes out, extends, and modifies existing models of referencedependent preferences and loss aversion, with the goal of making the theory more broadly applicable. Our model 1) allows for stochastic reference points; 2) accommodates a realistic form of flexibility in the “psychological dimensions” relevant for evaluating gains and losses; 3) combines the reference-depend...
متن کاملA Theory of Reference-Dependent Fairness Preferences
Economic agents care about more than their own payo¤, as has been well documented by recent theoretical and experimental work on the economics of fairness. This paper develops a theory of how people’s distributional preferences depend on nonoutcome aspects of games. People care about how unequal allocations are, but they dislike inequalities more when those inequalities are more avoidable. Conv...
