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…
Decision Making under Dual-System Thinking
Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Tri Phu Vu
This paper introduces the Dual-System Thinking (DST) model, a decision-theoretic framework that integrates psychological dual-process theories into economic modeling. A single cogn…
Invariant Modeling for Joint Distributions
Christopher P. Chambers, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Ruodu Wang
A common theme underlying many problems in statistics and economics involves the determination of a systematic method of selecting a joint distribution consistent with a specified…
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…
Frame-dependent Random Utility
Paul H. Y. Cheung, Yusufcan Masatlioglu
We explore the influence of framing on decision-making, where some products are framed (e.g., displayed, recommended, endorsed, or labeled). We introduce a novel choice function th…
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…
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…
Context-Dependent Heterogeneous Preferences: A Comment on Barseghyan and Molinari (2023)
Matias D. Cattaneo, Xinwei Ma, Yusufcan Masatlioglu
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, al…
Attention Overload
Matias D. Cattaneo, Paul Cheung, Xinwei Ma +1
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 e…
Correlated Choice
Christopher P. Chambers, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Christopher Turansick
We study random joint choice rules, allowing for interdependence of choice across agents. These capture random choice by multiple agents, or a single agent across goods or time per…
Choice with Endogenous Categorization
Andrew Ellis, Yusufcan Masatlioglu
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 e…
Contract Design with Costly Convex Self-Control
Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Daisuke Nakajima, Emre Ozdenoren
In this note, we consider the pricing problem of a profit-maximizing monopolist who faces naive consumers with convex self-control preferences.
A Random Attention Model
Matias D. Cattaneo, Xinwei Ma, Yusufcan Masatlioglu +1
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 Ran…
