Testable Implications of Parametric Assumptions in Ordered Random Utility Models
有序随机效用模型中参数假设的可检验含义
We establish the testable implications of ordered random utility models under nonparametric, semi-nonparametric, and parametric assumptions. After characterizing these models in a continuous setting and in the absence of fundamental parametric restrictions, we show that assumptions about the type distribution alone are immaterial, while assumptions about the map linking types to utilities are relevant only insofar as they restrict the class of utilities at stake.…
