提出并公理化了分类思维模型,该模型认为决策问题的框架影响代理人如何对选项分类,进而影响其评估。该模型统一了显著性、现状偏见、损失厌恶等偏离新古典选择模型的关键行为,并为显著性思维模型提供了行为基础。

Abstract

Abstract We propose and axiomatize the categorical thinking model (CTM) in which the framing of the decision problem affects how agents categorize alternatives, that in turn affects their evaluation of it. Prominent models of salience, status quo bias, loss-aversion, inequality aversion, and present bias all fit under the umbrella of CTM. This suggests categorization is an underlying mechanism of key departures from the neoclassical model of choice. We specialize CTM to provide a behavioural foundation for the salient thinking model of Bordalo et al. (2013, Journal of Political Economy, 121, 803–843) that highlights its strong predictions and distinctions from other models.
