Revealed Indifference : Using Response Times to Infer Preferences
Revealed preference is the dominant approach for inferring preferences, but it relies on discrete, stochastic choices. The choice process also produces response times (RTs) which are continuous and can often be observed in the absence of informative choice outcomes. Moreover, there is a consistent relationship between RTs and strength-of-preference, namely that people make slower decisions as t...
متن کاملUsing revealed preferences to infer environmental benefits, evidence from recreational fishing licenses
We develop and apply a new method for estimating the economic benefits of an environmental amenity. The method is based upon the notion of estimating the derived demand for a privately traded option to utilize an open access good. In particular, the demand for state fishing licenses is used to infer the benefits of recreational fishing. Using panel data on state fishing license sales and prices...
متن کاملUsing Response Times to Infer Others’ Beliefs: An Application to Information Cascades
How agents learn from each other’s actions is a fundamental question in economics. While the standard assumption is that agents can only learn from the choice outcomes of others, we argue that agents can also infer information from others’ choice processes, in particular, their response times (RTs). We conduct a laboratory information cascade experiment where we manipulate subjects’ ability to ...

To help the users in this process, recommendation systems filter unnecessary objects and only show the most suitable ones.

متن کاملIndifference or indecisiveness? Choice-theoretic foundations of incomplete preferences
A commonly held belief in economics is that an individual’s preferences that are revealed by her choices must be complete. This paper takes issue with this position by showing that one may be able to distinguish between indifference and indecisiveness of an agent upon observing her choice behavior. We relax the standard Weak Axiom of Revealed Preferences (WARP) and show that a potent theory of ...
