Testing Transitivity and Related Axioms of Preference for Individuals and Small Groups

Abstract

This project has been completed. The original aim was to revisit transitivity of preference in individuals and small groups. For individual preferences, the project has shown that the past 50 years of research has fallen victim to a variety of conceptual, mathematical and statistical errors. We have made tremendous progress in this area, and, in particular, set the stage for a new generation of research in individual decision making. The project has also made headway in models for the evolution of preferences, as well as in behavioral social choice.
