Belief Identification in Populations
Christopher P. Chambers, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, R. Emilio Muniz-Langle
We study the identification of belief distributions in a population of Bayesian agents from anonymous aggregate belief data. While a single Bayesian agent's full belief can be reco…
Ordered Probabilistic Choice
Christopher P. Chambers, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Kemal Yildiz
We introduce a novel perspective by linking ordered probabilistic choice to copula theory, a mathematical framework for modeling dependencies in multivariate distributions. Each re…
Revealed Social Networks
Christopher P. Chambers, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Christopher Turansick
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 t…
The Limits of Identification in Discrete Choice
Christopher P. Chambers, Christopher Turansick
This paper uncovers tight bounds on the number of preferences permissible in identified random utility models. We show that as the number of alternatives in a discrete choice model…
Revealed Invariant Preference
Peter Caradonna, Christopher P. Chambers
We consider the problem of rationalizing choice data by a preference satisfying an arbitrary collection of invariance axioms. Examples of such axioms include quasilinearity, homoth…
Coherent Distorted Beliefs
Christopher P. Chambers, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Collin Raymond
Many models of economics assume that individuals distort objective probabilities. We propose a simple consistency condition on distortion functions, which we term distortion cohere…
