Revealed Indifference : Using Response Times to Infer Preferences

Konovalov, Arkady - 2019

Revealed preference is the dominant approach for inferring preferences, but it relies on discrete, stochastic choices. The choice process also produces response times (RTs) which are continuous and can often be observed in the absence of informative choice outcomes. Moreover, there is a...

Using Survey Questions to Measure Preferences : Lessons from an Experimental Validation in Kenya

Bauer, Michal - 2019

Can a short survey instrument reliably measure a range of fundamental economic preferences across diverse settings? We focus on survey questions that systematically predict behavior in incentivized experimental tasks among German university students (Becker et al. 2016) and were implemented...

Measuring economic preferences with surveys and behavioral experiments

Kosfeld, Michael; Sharafi, Zahra; González, Maíra Sontag - 2025

Developing reliable and practicable measures of economic preferences is a crucial task for empirical economic research with high value for both theory and applications. Here, we present results from a first comprehensive “behavioral validation analysis” of the Global Preference Survey Module...
