Eliciting Welfare Preferences from Behavioral Datasets, Review of Economic Studies

Abstract

An individual displays various preference orderings in different payoff-irrelevant circumstances. It is assumed that the variation in the observed preference orderings is the outcome of some cognitive process that distorts the underlying preferences of the individual. We introduce a framework for eliciting the individual's underlying preferences in such cases and then demonstrate it for two cognitive processes - satisficing and small assessment errors.
