Learning to be Homo Economicus: Can an LLM Learn Preferences from Choice

no code implementations14 Jan 2024 Jeongbin Kim, Matthew Kovach, Kyu-Min Lee, Euncheol Shin, Hector Tzavellas

This paper explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) as decision aids, with a focus on their ability to learn preferences and provide personalized recommendations.

Learning Source Biases: Multi-sourced Misspecifications and Consequences

no code implementations15 Sep 2023 Lin Hu, Matthew Kovach, Anqi Li

We study how a decision maker (DM) learns about the biases of unfamiliar information sources.

The Focal Quantal Response Equilibrium

no code implementations2 Apr 2023 Matthew Kovach, Gerelt Tserenjigmid

In our model, which we call the Focal Quantal Response Equilibrium (Focal QRE), each player plays a stochastic version of Nash equilibrium as in the QRE, but some strategies are focal and thus are chosen relatively more frequently than other strategies after accounting for expected utilities.

Inertial Updating

no code implementations11 Mar 2023 Adam Dominiak, Matthew Kovach, Gerelt Tserenjigmid

We introduce and characterize inertial updating of beliefs.

Ordered Surprises and Conditional Probability Systems

no code implementations4 Aug 2022 Adam Dominiak, Matthew Kovach, Gerelt Tserenjigmid

We study conditioning on null events, or surprises, and behaviorally characterize the Ordered Surprises (OS) representation of beliefs.

Behavioral Foundations of Nested Stochastic Choice and Nested Logit

no code implementations14 Dec 2021 Matthew Kovach, Gerelt Tserenjigmid

We provide the first behavioral characterization of nested logit, a foundational and widely applied discrete choice model, through the introduction of a non-parametric version of nested logit that we call Nested Stochastic Choice (NSC).

Reference Dependence and Random Attention

no code implementations24 Jun 2021 Matthew Kovach, Elchin Suleymanov

We explore the ways that a reference point may direct attention.

Ambiguity and Partial Bayesian Updating

no code implementations23 Feb 2021 Matthew Kovach

Models of updating a set of priors either do not allow a decision maker to make inference about her priors (full bayesian updating or FB) or require an extreme degree of selection (maximum likelihood updating or ML).

Conservative Updating

no code implementations30 Jan 2021 Matthew Kovach

This paper provides a behavioral analysis of conservatism in beliefs.
