Revealed strength of preference: Inference from response times
Revealed preference is the dominant approach for inferring preferences, but it is limited in that it relies solely on discrete choice data. When a person chooses one alternative over another, we cannot infer the strength of their preference or predict ...

Heterogeneous Time Preferences and Interest Rates - The Preferred Habitat Theory Revisited [PDF]
The influence of heterogeneous time preferences on the term structure is investigated. Motivated by the Preferred Habitat Theory of Modigliani and Sutch, a model for intertemporal preferences accounting for preferred habitats is proposed.

Intertemporal Risk Management Decisions of Farmers under Preference, Market, and Policy Dynamics [PDF]
This paper adapts a generalized expected utility (GEU) maximization model (Epstein and Zin, 1989 and 1991) to examine the intertemporal risk management of wheat producers in the Pacific Northwest. Optimization results based on simulated data indicate the

PIH and ROT alternative in view of the intertemporal non-separability of preferences: empirical findings from a Japanese panel data [PDF]
This paper describes an empirical investigation into the permanent income hypothesis (PIH) and the rule-of-thumb (ROT) alternative hypothesis, both of which allow for the intertemporal non-separability of preferences in the sense that past consumption of

Intertemporal substitution and nonhomothetic preferences [PDF]
This study uses a model with nonseparable and nonhomothetic preferences to estimate theintertemporal elasticity of substitution (IES). We show that, while the assumption of homotheticity is strongly rejected, the estimated IES is positive and significant.

Habits, Complementarities and Heterogenenity in Alcohol and Tobacco Demand: A Multivariate Dynamic Model [PDF]
In this paper we test the existence of rational habit formation in a multivariate model for alcohol and tobacco consumption. The theoretical framework, based on a dynamic adjustment cost model with forward-looking behaviour, is enhanced to include the ...
