The Revealed Preference Theory of Changing Tastes
分析有限决策问题上的偏好,以建模具有“变化偏好”的决策者,给出识别Strotz一致性计划模型的条件,并针对无限选择问题提出可良好定义的近似。
We analyse preferences over finite decision problems in order to model decision-makers with "changing tastes". we provide conditions on these preferences that identify the Strotz model of consistent planning. building on an example given by Peleg and Yaari (1973) , we show that for problems with infinitely many choices, Strotz's representation of preferences may not be well defined. For that case, we propose a well-defined approximation which is empirically indistinguishable from the Strotz preference that is being approximated. Copyright 2005, Wiley-Blackwell.
