注意力过载AI 解读

We introduce an Attention Overload Model (AOM) in which alternatives compete for attention, so each alternative's consideration probability weakly decreases as the choice problem expands. This nonparametric restriction has a search-capacity foundation. We identify exactly which preference rankings are compatible with observed choices and establish sharp bounds on latent attention. We then consider heterogeneous preferences in settings where alternatives are presented in a…

The linear-in-means model is the standard empirical model of peer effects and asks that an agent's choice or outcome is a combination of their ideal point and the mean outcome of their group. Using choice data and exogenous group variation, we develop a revealed preference style test for the linear-in-means model. This test is formulated as a linear program and can be interpreted as a condition about differentiating the behavior of each agent in a consistent manner. We then…

依赖情境的异质性偏好：对 Barseghyan 与 Molinari（2023）的评论AI 解读

Barseghyan and Molinari (2023) give sufficient conditions for semi-nonparametric point identification of parameters of interest in a mixture model of decision-making under risk, allowing for unobserved heterogeneity in utility functions and limited consideration. A key assumption in the model is that the heterogeneity of risk preferences is unobservable but context-independent. In this comment, we build on their insights and present identification results in a setting where…

随机注意力模型AI 解读

This paper illustrates how one can deduce preference from observed choices when attention is not only limited but also random. In contrast to earlier approaches, we introduce a Random Attention Model (RAM) where we abstain from any particular attention formation, and instead consider a large class of nonparametric random attention rules. Our model imposes one intuitive condition, termed Monotonic Attention, which captures the idea that each consideration set competes for the…
