Ex ante coherence shifts

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2020
AbstractCushman characterizes rationalization as the inverse of rational reasoning, but this distinction is psychologically questionable. Coherence-based reasoning highlights a subtler form of bidirectionality: By distorting task attributes to make one course of action appear superior to its rivals, a patina of rationality is bestowed on the choice ...

Ex Ante Returns and Occupational Choice

Journal of Political Economy, 2020
Using data from Duke University undergraduates, we make three main contributions to the literature. First, we show that data on earnings beliefs and probabilities of choosing particular occupations are highly informative of future earnings and ...

Best of Both Worlds: Ex-Ante and Ex-Post Fairness in Resource Allocation

ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, 2020
We study the problem of allocating indivisible goods among agents. When randomization is allowed, it is possible to achieve compelling fairness guarantees such as envy-freeness (Foley, 1967), which states that no agent should (in expectation) prefer any ...

Simultaneously Achieving Ex-ante and Ex-post Fairness

Workshop on Internet and Network Economics, 2020
We present a polynomial-time algorithm that computes an ex-ante envy-free lottery over envy-free up to one item (EF1) deterministic allocations.

Spin‐offs, Ex Ante

The Journal of Business, 2001
Cusatis, Miles, and Woolridge (1993) report large positive excess returns following spin-offs over the period 1965-88. We investigate whether a trading strategy based on this ex post analysis would have earned excess returns on an ex ante basis over the period 1989-95. When compared with the matched firm benchmark used by Cusatis et al.

Subjective Beliefs and ex ante Trade [PDF]

open access: possibleEconometrica, 2008
We study a definition of subjective beliefs applicable to preferences that allow for the perception of ambiguity, and provide a characterization of such beliefs in terms of market behavior. Using this definition, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the efficiency of ex ante trade and show that these conditions follow from the fundamental ...

Optimal Online Contention Resolution Schemes via Ex-Ante Prophet Inequalities

Embedded Systems and Applications, 2018
Online contention resolution schemes (OCRSs) were proposed by Feldman, Svensson, and Zenklusen as a generic technique to round a fractional solution in the matroid polytope in an online fashion.
