This paper shows how to recover behavioral biases from revealed preference ranking implied by choices. The approach formalizes and unifies known behavioral models, including salience thinking, inattention, and logarithmic perception, thereby accounting for many well-documented choice puzzles. I show that this approach provides a way to filter out c...
In this paper, I introduce a novel methodology to conduct surveys. The priced survey methodology (PSM). Like standard surveys, priced surveys are easy to implement, and measure social preferences on numerical scales. The PSM's design draws inspiration from consumption choice experiments, as respondents fill out the same survey several times under d...
In this paper, I introduce a novel methodology to conduct surveys. The priced survey methodology. Like standard surveys, priced surveys are easy to implement, and measure invisible assets such as feelings, happiness, knowledge, views, and attitudes on numerical scales. Unlike standard surveys, priced surveys allow to leverage decades of research on...

This paper presents a summary of coastal recreation of New England residents from a survey conducted in the summer of 2018. The management of New England’s coasts benefits from understanding the value of coastal recreation and the factors influencing recreational behavior. To address this need, the survey collected the geographic location and trip ...
A library for revealed preferences analysis using Julia. The analysis can start from a choice function, a choice correspondence or prices and quantities.The library implements classical axioms of revealed preferences (Sen's axioms, the Weak and Strong Axiom of Revealed Preferences, and so on) It also implements some indices of rationality (Houtman-...
Regret is often experienced for difficult, important, and accountable choices. Consequently, we hypothesize that random regret minimization (RRM) may better describe evacuation behavior than traditional random utility maximization (RUM). However, in many travel related contexts, such as evacuation departure timing, specifying choice sets can be cha...
Understanding of the shift behaviours are critical to formulate effective policies to encourage mode shift and anticipate the increasing demands of public transport services impacted by the shifting behaviours. This study aims to investigate the mode choice behaviour of commuters by utilising the nation-wide survey of commuters in Australia and emp...
The purpose of this thesis is to estimate a pedestrian route choice model from revealed preference GPS data. Aim of this model is to understand how pedestrians choose their routes within an urban area and to find out which quantitative environmental street factors influence their route choice behaviour. The city of Zürich was taken as a case study ...
The main purpose of the essay is to criticize Hausman’s characterization of the economic notion of preference, which he referred to as “preference*”. My main objection is that it is misleading to define preference* according to only two elements: preference and belief. Instead, I will argue that even if we were able to assume belief as given, choic...
São freqüentes os casos nos quais expoem-se avaliar opções para o melhoramento no nível de servicio dum sistema de transporte no contexto interurbano, este é o caso do corredor do Magdalena Medio em Colômbia, onde há três modos em interacção: viário, fluvial e ferroviário. Para o planejamento deste tipo de sistema para transporte de passageiros, ca...
