Revealed Preference Foundations of Expectations-Based Reference-Dependence

David Freeman

Discussion Papers from Department of Economics, Simon Fraser University

Abstract: This paper provides revealed preference foundations for a model of expectations based reference-dependence a la Koszegi and Rabin (2006). Novel axioms provide distinguishing features of expectations-based reference-dependence under risk. The analysis completely characterizes the model’s testable implications when expectations are unobservable.

Keywords: Reference-dependent preferences; expectations as the reference point; preferred personal equilibrium; choice under risk (search for similar items in EconPapers)
