The random utility model with an infinite choice space

This essay presents a measure-theoretic version of the random utility model with no substantive restrictions upon the choice space. The analysis is based upon DeFinetti' Coherency Axiom, which characterizes a set function as a finitely additive probability measure. The central result is the equivalence of the random utility maximization hypothesis and the coherency of the choice probabilities over all allowable constraint sets.
