To clarify whether a difference exists in the redistribution preferences of Japan and China and to provide insights into the possible causes of this difference, this study conducts an experiment similar to a dictator game but in which both donors and recipients have the chance to redistribute the initial incomes. In the experiment, an initial income gap is caused by one of two kinds of tasks th...

Ambiguity preferences are important to explain human decision-making in many areas in economics and finance. To measure individual ambiguity preferences, the experimental economics literature advocates using incentivized laboratory experiments. Yet, laboratory experiments are costly and require a lot of time and administrative effort. This study develops an ambiguity preference survey module th...

An expert, trying to assess the true distribution over the states of nature, is associated with a preference relation over utility bundles. He prefers f to g if he believes that, according to the true distribution, the expected utility of f is greater than that of g. Expert I is said to be more knowledgeable than expert II (Lefort [7]) if, between the two experts, it is always beneficial to fol...

We propose a new clustering approach, called optimality-based clustering, that clusters data points based on their latent decision-making preferences. assume each point is decision generated by decision-maker who (approximately) solves an optimization problem and cluster the identifying common objective function of problems for such worst-case optimality error minimized. three different models ...

Two taste preference studies were conducted using six Holstein heifers in each experiment to determine preferences for no ionophore, lasalocid, or monensin in the diet. In Exp. 1, individually penned (approx. 5 mo old; 220 +/- 14 kg BW) heifers were fed a basal total mixed ration containing 46% corn silage, 46% grass haylage, and 8% soybean meal (DM basis). There were five treatments (mg/kg BW(...

Abstract Processed meat products are a staple part of the typical European diet. Product packaging can include considerable amount information and, with other intrinsic and extrinsic attributes, substantially influence consumers' preferences purchasing decisions. This study investigates 14 product attributes processed using cross-country analysis. Based on an online survey conducted in Hungary ...

Rational choice theory analyzes how an agent can rationally act, given his or her preferences, but says little about where those preferences come from. Preferences are usually assumed to be …xed and exogenously given. Building on related work on reasons and rational choice (Dietrich and List forthcoming), we describe a framework for conceptualizing preference formation and preference change. In...

In the context of practical reasoning, such as decision making and negotiation, it is necessary to model preferences over possible outcomes. Such preferences usually depend on multiple criteria. We argue that the criteria by which outcomes are evaluated should be the satisfaction of a person’s underlying interests: the more an outcome satisfies his interests, the more preferred it is. Underlyin...

The French Lexical Network (fr-LN) is a global model of the French lexicon presently under construction. The fr-LN accounts for lexical knowledge as a lexical network structured by paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations holding between lexical units. This paper describes how morphological knowledge is presently being introduced into the fr-LN through the implementation and lexicographic exploit...
