We conduct an experiment in which subjects face the same questions repeated multiple
times, with repetitions of two types:(1) following the literature, the repetitions are distant from …

Transitivity of preferences is a fundamental principle shared by most major contemporary
rational, prescriptive, and descriptive models of decision making. To have transitive …

Many psychological theories can be operationalized as linear inequality constraints on the
parameters of multinomial distributions (eg, discrete choice analysis). These constraints can …

Most theoretical and empirical research on intertemporal choice assumes a deterministic
and static perspective, leading to the widely adopted delay discounting models. As a form of …

Contextual preference reversals occur when a preference for one option over another is
reversed by the addition of further options. It has been argued that the occurrence of …

Behavioral decision research compares theoretical constructs like preferences to behavior
such as observed choices. Three fairly common links from constructs to behavior are (1) to …

We study stochastic choice as the outcome of deliberate randomization. We derive a general
representation of a stochastic choice function where stochasticity allows the agent to …

Paul Meehl's famous critique detailed many of the problematic practices and conceptual
confusions that stand in the way of meaningful theoretical progress in psychological science …

We examine the effects of multiple sources of noise in risky decision making. Noise in the
parameters that characterize an individual's preferences can combine with noise in the …

The goal of this paper is to make modeling and quantitative testing accessible to behavioral
decision researchers interested in substantive questions. We provide a novel, rigorous, yet …
