This paper provides an overview of some alternative conceptual definitions of travel time variability, discusses their implications about behaviour, and puts them into a broader context, including deviations from the underlying assumptions regarding rational behaviour. The paper then discusses...

This paper establishes a general equivalence between discrete choice and rational inattention models. Matejka and McKay (2015) showed that when information costs are modelled using the Shannon entropy, the choice probabilities in the rational inattention (RI) model take the multinomial logit...

This paper sets up a rational inattention model for the choice of departure time for a traveler facing random travel time. The traveler chooses how much information to acquire about the travel time out-come before choosing departure time. This reduces the cost of travel time variability compared...

Nontransitive choices have long been an area of curiosity within economics. However, determining whether nontransitive choices represent an individual’s preference is a difficult task since choice data is inherently stochastic. This paper shows that behavior from nontransitive preferences...
