▼ Thesis submitted by Jinrui Pan for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Manchester, and entitled, “Time and Risk Preferences: Theoretical Models and Applications.” Date of submission 2014.This thesis makes contributions to two important areas of behavioural economics, namely individual decision making over time and under risk.Following the Introduction, Chapter 2 presents a new discounting function for analysing intertemporal choice. Liminal discounting, the model developed here, generalises exponential discounting in a parsimonious way. It allows for well-known departures, whilst maintaining its elegance and tractability. It also can be seen as an extension of quasi-hyperbolic discounting to continuous time. A liminal discounter has a constant rate of time preference before and after some threshold time; the liminal point. A preference foundation is provided, showing that the liminal point is derived endogenously from behaviour.Chapter 3 proposes an axiomatic model featuring a differential treatment of attitudes towards risk and time. Such distinction has been strongly suggested by experimental research when studying intertemporal choice, since the future is inherently risky. In the proposed model, non-linear probability distortions are incorporated into a dynamic model with discounted utility. Time is captured by a general discounting function independent of probabilities and outcomes. Utility of outcomes is captured by standard vNM utility independent of time. A two-parameter probability weighting function captures intertemporal probabilistic risk attitudes, with one parameter being constant over time, the other being time-dependent. An index of optimism is derived that depends on both parameters, which allows to model the observed high risk tolerance for delayed lotteries. Further, a preference foundation is provided. Interestingly, the model allows behaviour to be consistent with discounted expected utility, when risk is sufficiently distant from the present.

Joint forest management (JFM), which seeks to involve local communities in the management of state-owned forests, was started in India in 1990. One of the prime objectives of JFM was to restock degraded forest areas, which has not been uniformly achieved across the country. Variation in the success of JFM has been attributed to several socioeconomic and organizational factors. Existing literature, however, has ignored the role of intracommunity strategic interactions in JFM outcomes. Similarly, roles of social preferences and individual time preferences have also been overlooked. In this research, JFM outcomes have been analyzed through the lens of intracommunity strategic interactions, social preferences, and endogenous and good-specific time preferences. A model of strategic interactions among households of a village has been developed, and it has been shown that in JFM households play a public goods game. Equilibrium of the game has been analyzed, and effects of various model parameters on equilibrium participation have been investigated. An empirical study has been carried out in five villages in central India to observe the role of social preferences in JFM outcomes. It has been found that the presence of social preference is strongly correlated with success in JFM in the village. Since in JFM households incur costs in the beginning and get benefits later, individual time preferences are crucial for JFM outcomes. Time preference analysis is usually done using Samuelson’s discounted utility (DU) model, which expresses individual time preference by a unitary construct – discount rate, and does not consider endogenous and good-specific time preferences. In this research, a theoretical model is developed, and an empirical study is used to show that households’ time preferences are endogenous and good specific. A model for the evolution of other-regarding preferences in JFM has also been developed, and it has been shown that other-regarding preferences may evolve in JFM provided a stimulus is given, community’s dependence on the forest is high, and alternatives to forest resources are available.

▼ This dissertation consists of three research papers on Preference models of decision making, all of which adopt an axiomatic approach in which preference conditions are studied so that the models in this dissertation can be verified by checking their conditions at the behavioral level. The first paper “Utility Functions Representing Preference over Interdependent Attributes” studies the problem of how to assess a two attribute utility function when the attributes are interdependent. We consider a situation where the risk aversion on one attribute could be influenced by the level of the other attribute in a two attribute decision making problem. In this case, the multilinear utility model—and its special cases the additive and multiplicative forms—cannot be applied to assess a subject’s preference because utility independence does not hold. We propose a family of preference conditions called nth degree discrete distribution independence that can accommodate a variety of dependencies among two attributes. The special case of second degree discrete distribution independence is equivalent to the utility independence condition. Third degree discrete distribution independence leads to a decomposition formula that contains many other decomposition formulas in the existing literature as special cases. As the decompositions proposed in this research is more general than many existing ones, the study provides a model of preference that has potential to be used for assessing utility functions more accurately and with relatively little additional effort. The second paper “On the Axiomatization of the Satiation and Habit Formation Utility Models” studies the axiomatic foundations of the discounted utility model that incorporates both satiation and habit formation in temporal decision. We propose a preference condition called shifted difference independence to axiomatize a general habit formation and satiation model (GHS). This model allows for a general habit formation and satiation function that contains many functional forms in the literature as special cases. Since the GHS model can be reduced to either a general satiation model (GSa) or a general habit formation model (GHa), our theory also provides approaches to axiomatize both the GSa model and the GHa model. Furthermore, by adding extra preference conditions into our axiomatization framework, we obtain a GHS model with a linear habit formation function and a recursively defined linear satiation function. In the third paper “Hope, Dread, Disappointment, and Elation from Anticipation in Decision Making”, we propose a model to incorporate both anticipation and disappointment into decision making, where we define hope as anticipating a gain and dread as anticipating a loss. In this model, the anticipation for a lottery is a subjectively chosen outcome for a lottery that influences the decision maker’s reference point. The decision maker experiences elation or disappointment when she compares the received outcome with the anticipated outcome. This model captures the… Advisors/Committee Members: Dyer, James S.

Bakgrund: För att ge vägledning till hur samhället skall värdera nutida effekter gentemotframtida, exempelvis att rädda liv eller fördela samhälleliga investeringar, har ekonomergenomfört stated preference-studier med syfte att undersöka individers samhälleligatidspreferenser. Studiernas resultat har producerat en stor variation kring hur individervärderar framtida utfall jämfört med nutida. Resultaten har dock tolkats som att individer,även om tidspreferenserna varierar i storlek, värderar framtida utfall lägre än nutida. ShaneFrederick genomförde 1999 en studie, som Frederick benämnde som ett ”robusthetstest” avden dittills använda metodiken, där han i motsats till tidigare studier inte bara erbjödrespondenterna ett nutida utfall jämfört med ett framtida, utan även erbjöd respondenternaolika sekventiella fördelningar över tid. Resultaten kontrasterade tydligt tidigare studiersresultat, respondenterna föredrog exempelvis att rädda liv fördelat på tre generationer iställetför endast i deras egen – vilket indikerade att respondenterna hade negativa tidspreferenser!Inga uppföljningsstudier har därefter genomförts.Syfte: Att undersöka individers samhälleliga tidspreferenser när de erbjuds sekventiellafördelningar över tid.Metod: Två enkätundersökningar genomfördes vid Linköpings universitet. Respondenternaställdes inför olika sekventiella fördelningar för räddandet av liv och samhälleligaupprustningar, såväl i ett intra- som ett intergenerationsperspektiv.Slutsats: Vi finner ej stöd för att en majoritet av individerna värderar framtida samhälleligaupprustningar eller att rädda framtida liv, lägre än nutida. Vi finner heller ej stöd för attindividers tidspreferenser endast innefattar en preferens för den tidshorisontella absolutafördelningen (nutid gentemot framtid). I både ett intra- och ett intergenerationsperspektivföredrog den största andelen av respondenterna en jämn fördelning över tid. I ettintragenerationsperspektiv, där vi erbjöd individerna olika sekventiella fördelningar över tid,påverkades respondenternas val av den relativa fördelningen över tid. Alla resultatuppvisades för både räddandet av liv och samhälleliga upprustningar.

Background: To give guidance for societal policy decisions on how to value future effectscompared to present, economists have used stated preference methodology to measureindividuals’ societal time preferences. The results have produced a great variety in the size ofindividuals’ time preferences, but have in general at least concluded that individuals valuefuture effects less then present. Shane Frederick performed in 1999 what he called a “test ofrobustness” of the methodology used in previous studies. Instead of just offering individualsto choose from an outcome today towards an outcome x years from now, he also offeredrespondents outcomes sequentially spread out across time. The results contradicted those ofprevious studies. For example 80% of the respondents preferred to save 300 lives across 3generations instead of 300 in their own – which implied negative time…

▼ This research examined if travelers are paying for travel on managed lanes (MLs) as they indicated that they would in a 2008 survey. The other objectives of this research included estimating travelers’ value of travel time savings (VTTS) and their value of travel time reliability (VOR), and examining the multiple survey designs used in a 2008 survey to identify which survey design better predicted ML traveler behavior. To achieve the objectives, an Internet-based follow-up stated preference (SP) survey of Houston’s Katy Freeway travelers was conducted in 2010. Three survey design methodologies—Db-efficient, random level generation, and adaptive random—were tested in this survey. A total of 3,325 responses were gathered from the survey, and of those, 869 responses were from those who likely also responded to the previous 2008 survey. Mixed logit models were developed for those 869 previous survey respondents to estimate and compare the VTTS to the 2008 survey estimates. It was found that the 2008 survey estimates of the VTTS were very close to the 2010 survey estimates. In addition, separate mixed logit models were developed from the responses obtained from the three different design strategies in the 2010 survey. The implied mean VTTS varied across the design-specific models. Only the Db-efficient design was able to estimate a VOR. Based on this and several other metrics, the Db-efficient design outperformed the other designs. A mixed logit model including all the responses from all three designs was also developed; the implied mean VTTS was estimated as 65 percent (22/hr) of the mean hourly wage rate, and the implied mean VOR was estimated as 108 percent (37/hr) of the mean hourly wage rate. Data on actual usage of the MLs were also collected. Based on actual usage, the average VTTS was calculated as 51/hr. However, the 51/hr travelers are paying likely also includes the value travelers place on travel time reliability of the MLs. The total (VTTS+VOR) amount estimated from the all-inclusive model from the survey was 59/hr, which is close to the value estimated from the actual usage. The Db-efficient design estimated this total as 50/hr. This research also shows that travelers have a difficulty in estimating the time they save while using a ML. They greatly overestimate the amount of time saved. It may well be that even though travelers are saving a small amount of time they value that time savings (and avoiding congestion) much higher – possibly similar to their amount of perceived travel time savings. The initial findings from this study, reported here, are consistent with the hypothesis that travelers are paying for their travel on MLs, much as they said that they would in our previous survey. This supports the use of data on intended behavior in policy analysis.

▼ This dissertation consists of three empirical essays investigating the shaping and consequences of individual risk and time preferences in Indonesia. Risk and time preferences were elicited using hypothetical questions in the 2007/08 wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey. ❧ The first essay finds risk and time preferences to be systematically related to respondent demographics and cognition. The main findings are as follows. Men are less risk averse than women, older respondents are more impatient, wealthier respondents are less risk averse and less impatient, better educated adults are less impatient, and adults with better cognitive capacity proxied by episodic memory are less impatient. In addition, the preference elicitation procedure revealed individuals with nonstandard preferences, in that they chose a dominated payoff. Measures of cognitive capacity are associated with the likelihood of having nonstandard preferences in expected ways. Respondents with better episodic memory are less likely to be nonstandard. Better educated respondents are less likely to be nonstandard, in some cases. ❧ The second essay reports evidence that interviewer characteristics can influence survey-elicited preferences. The empirical models from the first essay are augmented with controls for interviewer language ability, interview language, measures of social distance between interviewers and respondents, and interviewer human capital. The main finding is that where interviewers and respondents do not share a daily spoken language, respondents are more likely to show nonstandard preferences. This effect is found only in interviews conducted in languages other than the national language. However, estimates of the original explanatory variables are not changed by the inclusion of interviewer characteristics, suggesting that interviewers are not an important source of omitted variable bias in estimations of the determinants of survey-elicited preferences. ❧ The third essay asks whether survey-elicited risk and time preferences can explain the transition into adulthood of Indonesian adults. I look at the correlations of survey-elicited risk and time preferences with economic decisions commonly thought of as markers of adulthood: schooling attainment, marriage, fertility behavior, migration, and full time employment. The results suggest that differences in risk and time preferences do explain some of the variation in economic decisions. Risk averse men attain fewer years of schooling, while risk aversion is not significantly associated with women's schooling. Impatient men and women attain fewer years of schooling. Risk averse men and women marry earlier, and so do impatient women. Married couples positively sort on risk and time preferences. Women who are more risk averse and more patient are less likely to use birth control. Highly risk averse men are less likely to migrate. Risk and time preferences are not significantly correlated with entry into full time employment. However, risk aversion is negatively correlated with selection… Advisors/Committee Members: Strauss, John A. (Committee Chair), Nugent, Jeffrey B. (Committee Member), Wilkie, Simon J.

▼ Thesis submitted by Jinrui Pan for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Manchester, and entitled, “Time and Risk Preferences: Theoretical Models and Applications.” Date of submission 2014.This thesis makes contributions to two important areas of behavioural economics, namely individual decision making over time and under risk. Following the Introduction, Chapter 2 presents a new discounting function for analysing intertemporal choice. Liminal discounting, the model developed here, generalises exponential discounting in a parsimonious way. It allows for well-known departures, whilst maintaining its elegance and tractability. It also can be seen as an extension of quasi-hyperbolic discounting to continuous time. A liminal discounter has a constant rate of time preference before and after some threshold time; the liminal point. A preference foundation is provided, showing that the liminal point is derived endogenously from behaviour. Chapter 3 proposes an axiomatic model featuring a differential treatment of attitudes towards risk and time. Such distinction has been strongly suggested by experimental research when studying intertemporal choice, since the future is inherently risky. In the proposed model, non-linear probability distortions are incorporated into a dynamic model with discounted utility. Time is captured by a general discounting function independent of probabilities and outcomes. Utility of outcomes is captured by standard vNM utility independent of time. A two-parameter probability weighting function captures intertemporal probabilistic risk attitudes, with one parameter being constant over time, the other being time-dependent. An index of optimism is derived that depends on both parameters, which allows to model the observed high risk tolerance for delayed lotteries. Further, a preference foundation is provided. Interestingly, the model allows behaviour to be consistent with discounted expected utility, when risk is sufficiently distant from the present.

Nos últimos anos, um grande número de estudos tem investigado o consumo de cigarros com base em uma teoria que permeia uma relação entre custos e benefícios, envolvendo trocas entre consequências em curto e longo prazo, que tem sido proposta para explicar porque escolhas insalubres – incluindo exemplos nos âmbitos de poupança, procrastinação, vício e auto-confiança – ocorrem, apesar de refletirem prejuízos. Esta abordagem, aqui definida como preferência de tempo, é um fenômeno conhecido quando os benefícios estão no presente e os custos são projetados para o futuro, permeando a teoria de tomada de decisões ao longo do tempo (escolha intertemporal) – que reflete uma escolha entre uma recompensa menor imediata e uma recompensa maior atrasada. A fim de analisar a relação de escolha entre ganhos e perdas imediatos e atrasados, em diferentes contextos, e os diversos fatores que influenciam essa escolha, um questionário foi desenvolvido a partir de artigos anteriores (Kirby, 2009; Myerson et al., 2016) e aplicado a uma amostra da população de fumantes. O objetivo das análises do presente estudo baseia-se em avaliar a influência de variáveis como domínio, gênero, idade e impulsividade em cada uma das condições do questionário, chegando a conclusões a respeito da influência das mesmas, dependendo de variáveis como contexto, tipo e efeito. Os resultados do estudo comprovam que a preferência de tempo é uma medida válida para predizer o processo de tomada de decisão de consumidores de cigarros, o que significa que fumantes são mais propensos a escolher resultados imediatos em vez de resultados atrasados. Isto indica que, de modo geral, fumantes preferem recompensas imediatas do que benefícios futuros. No entanto, os resultados do estudo apontam que, sob determinadas condições, esse efeito de preferência de tempo se reduz, aumentando a propensão de escolha por resultados atrasados em vez de resultados imediatos. Estas circunstâncias foram encontradas em diferenças relacionadas ao contexto (fumo x genérico), diferenças relacionadas ao efeito de sinal (ganho x perda), diferenças em relação aos domínios (financeiro, saúde, estético e social), diferenças a cerca do modo de comprometimento de participação (pessoal x outros) e diferenças relacionadas às características demográficas dos respondentes (faixa etária e gênero).

In the last past years, a large number of studies have investigated cigarette smoking based on a theory that permeates a relationship between costs and benefits, involving trade-offs between short and long-term consequences, which has been proposed to explain why unhealthy choices, including exemples in the areas of savings, procrastination, addiction and self-confidence - occur, even though they reflect losses. This approach, here defined as time preference, is a known phenomenon when benefits are at the present and costs are projected into the future, permeating a decision-making theory over time (intertemporal choice) - which reflect a choice between a immediate but small reward and a larger but late reward.…

A demanda por transporte é derivada, e seu resultado está relacionado à necessidade de superar barreiras físicas, envolvendo deslocamentos e, consequentemente, tempo. Como a sociedade moderna é orientada pelo relógio, tempo pode ser considerada uma variável de grande importante na dinâmica diária. Sendo assim, os sistemas de transporte têm papel fundamental para garantir que essa dinâmica seja atendida dentro do esperado. Portanto, os sistemas de transporte devem prover um serviço confiável. Ou seja, a operação dos mesmos deve ser regular, resultando em uma variabilidade mínima no tempo de viagem. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o comportamento do usuário do transporte aéreo frente à variabilidade do tempo de viagem. Para isso, modelos comportamentais foram estimados a partir de um estudo de caso realizado em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, com os viajantes que frequentam o Aeroporto Internacional Salgado Filho. Uma comparação entre diferentes abordagens comportamentais, baseadas na teoria da utilidade esperada, também foi contemplada no estudo, com o intuito de encontrar o melhor modelo representativo do comportamento do público estudado. Os modelos estimados apresentam diferentes formas funcionais não lineares, caracterizando diferentes reações dos tomadores de decisão quando em situações de risco.

The demand for transport is derived, and the result is related to the need to overcome the physical barriers involving displacements and hence time. As modern society is driven by the clock, time can be considered a great important variable in the daily dynamics. Thus, the transport systems has a key role to ensure that this dynamic is met as expected. Therefore, transport systems should provide a reliable service. That is, the operation there of is regular, resulting in a minimal variability in travel time. This work aims to study the air transport user behavior against the variability of travel time. To do this, behavioral models were estimated from a case study conducted in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, with travelers attending the Salgado Filho International Airport. A comparison between different behavioral approaches based on expected utility theory, the study was also considered in order to find the best studied model representative of the behavior of the public. The estimated models have different nonlinear functional forms, featuring different reactions of decision-makers when at risk.

▼ Problem: Previous research on pay-for-performance (PFP) and pay-for-time (PFT) employee compensation has determined employees are more productive under PFP compensation schedules; however, research concerning employee preference and off-task behavior between PFP and PFT schedules have yielded inconclusive results. Procedure: Participants engaged in a check-processing task, which consisted of entering sample checks containing a value between 1 and 999. The check-processing task remained the same throughout all pre-experimental and experimental conditions. The check background was white during baseline, but alternated between four colors during subsequent phases. Each background color was associated with a monetary schedule: orange (EXT), green (FT 15 s), blue (FR 1), and yellow (FR 5). The pre-experiment consisted of two phases: baseline and a Stability Phase. During baseline, participants received zero monetary compensation. During the Stability Phase, the four monetary schedules were alternated and participants were paid according to the monetary scheduled they were working under. The pre-experiment was used to determine the stability criteria implemented in the actual experiment. The experiment consisted of three phases: baseline, Phase 1, and Phase 2. Baseline and Phase 1 remained the same as during the pre-experiment, but with the inclusion of the stability criteria. Phase 2 lasted 16 min and used the same four monetary schedules; however, all checks began with a white-colored background. Phase 2 introduced the observing response as a measure of reinforcement value. To engage in the observing response, participants pressed the spacebar on the keyboard, which changed the check’s background color from “white” to the color associated with the current schedule for 1 s. Findings: Results showed that the majority of the nine experimental participants produced higher rates of check processing under PFP conditions. Similarly, results from Phase 1 demonstrated that all participants spent more time on-task under PFP conditions; however, Phase 2 results indicated that the majority (67%) of participants that engaged in off-task behavior were off-task the most under PFP conditions. Sixty-seven percent of the participants that engaged in the observing response observed the most under the denser PFP schedule (i.e., FR 1), although observing tended to be variable both within and across participants. The study concluded with an overview of the results and a discussion on potential limitations and areas of future PFP/PFT research. Advisors/Committee Members: Benjamin N Witts, Kimberly A Schulze.

▼ The intent of this research is to examine the factors that affect decision making for engineering undergraduate students. Decision making is a very crucial process in our daily lives as humans are faced with decisions daily, albeit subconscious sometimes. These decisions range from the minor scale to the major scale and there are numerous factors that affect how individuals process decisions. Every profession requires good judgment from its employees. One critical factor that professional institutions take into consideration is the judgment of the personnel when it comes to both menial and complex decision-making processes. Are the employees able to make difficult decisions? Are they able to make decisions that aim at the improvement of the organization? Are they willing to accept responsibility for poor decision making? The objective of this research was to investigate how the decision-making of engineers is affected by optimism, sleep, limited information, and time constraints. This study investigated the decision-making process of undergraduate engineering students by using an online simulation activity. A supposedly-realistic decision-making activity was used to simulate the decision-making process under time pressure. The activity required the comprehension of specific information and a survey was also administered to measure the optimism levels and sleep of the participants. Varied levels of time pressure influenced the category and amount of questions that were asked but self-reported sleep from the previous night and optimism did not affect risk preferences. However, explicit cost vs safety prompts caused 70% of the participants to be more risk averse when the time ran out. While there were no differences between the risk preference of male vs female engineering students, risk aversion increased as class standing increased from the Sophomore level to the Junior level.

▼ Today’s logistics practices are moving from inventory-based push supply chains to replenishment-based pull supply chains, leading to a lower and less centralized inventory, smaller shipment sizes, and more just-in-time deliveries. As a result, industries are now demanding greater reliability in freight transportation. Delays and uncertainty in freight transportation translate directly into additional inventory, higher manufacturing costs, less economic competitiveness for businesses, and higher costs of goods that are being passed on to the consumers. Given the growing demand in freight transportation, the emerging needs to better understand freight behavior for better policy and investment decisions, and the increasing role of reliability in freight transportation, this research aims at providing a) better understanding of how the freight system users value travel time reliability in their transportation decisions, and b) advanced methods in quantifying the user’s willingness to pay for the improvement of transportation related attributes, particularly travel time reliability. To understand how the freight industry values travel time reliability in their transportation decisions, and particularly the presence of user heterogeneity, this research designed and conducted a stated preference (SP) survey for freight users in road transportation. Based on the feedback received during the pilot stage, reliability was measured as the standard deviation of travel time and presented as a frequency of on-time and late delivery in the choice scenarios. The survey collected 1,226 responses from 159 firms in Florida between January and May 2016 via online and paper methods. Various modeling approaches were explored to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) measures among freight users, including multinomial logit (MNL) and mixed logit model. Market segmentation and interaction modeling techniques were employed to investigate preference variations among user groups, commodity groups, product type, and various other shipment characteristics, including shipping distance and weight. In general, across all groups in the sample, values of 37.00 per shipment-hour (1.53 per ton-hour) for travel time savings and 55.00 per shipment-hour (3.81 per ton- hour) for improvements of reliability were found in this research. Furthermore, while investigating the effects of shipping characteristics on the user’s preference in WTP, the results suggested that shipping distance and weight were the two most important variables. The results of the study help advance the understanding of the impact of the performance of transportation systems on freight transportation, which will lead to policy and investment decisions that better serve the needs of the freight community.

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays in experimental economics. The first essay analyzes the time preference and intertemporal choice behavior of human subjects. The second essay studies a new combinatorial auction mechanism in a laboratory setting. In the last essay, we compare several combinatorial auction mechanisms to solve scheduling problems. The first essay presents a laboratory experiment on time preferences to deepen our understanding. Specifically I propose a new experimental design and test its implications. Unlike existing designs, my unique experimental design does not impose any parametric assumptions on the utility function, which allows me to identify the time discount function independently of the form of the utility function. My generalized model successfully shows that subjects exhibit increasing impatience over time. This observation has not been reported in previous studies, which estimate only decreasing impatience. The main findings of my study are: (1) about two-thirds of subjects exhibit future bias and (2) the time discount function is an inverse S-curve, suggesting an expanded notion of the present. In the second essay, we study two package auction mechanisms in a laboratory setting, a sealed bid Vickrey auction and an ascending version of Vickrey, the iBEA auction. Unlike the single-unit Vickrey auction, where bidders tend to overbid in the laboratory, most of our bidders either underbid or bid their true values. Furthermore, at the aggregate level, Vickrey generates significantly higher revenue and efficiency than iBEA. We also find that human bidders learn from their robot opponents when robot strategies are myopic best responses. In the third essay, we explore the possibility of auction mechanisms, applying them to a scheduling problem. We apply concepts from mechanism design to compare different resource allocation schemes in a laboratory. The findings illustrate the utility of economic approaches in understanding issues that emerge in large-scale collaborations, such as entire scientific and engineering communities.

▼ This dissertation concerns the relationship between education and health. While this is not a new topic, the focus of this research is to explicitly model the education and health decision process and estimate such a model. Compared to current literature which focuses on statistical modeling as opposed to economic modeling of the decision, this project allows for deeper intuitive and policy analysis. Chapter one reviews the Economics literature on the relationship between health and education. It then discusses the current issues in the literature and proposes a solution to some of those problems. This chapter also provides a simple economic model of health and education choice from which a more complicated dynamic model is derived in chapter two. Chapter two proposes a dynamic model of health and education choice allowing for unobserved heterogeneity. This model is then estimated using data from the Health and Retirement Study. Results from the estimation suggest that an exogenous increase in education only increases expectation of life by approximately one third of the amount typically reported in the current literature. Chapter three performs various robustness checks on the structural estimation described in chapter one. One test is to simulate data from the estimated model and perform statistical analysis analogous to what the current literature would perform on real data. This analysis shows that while the model predicts a far less mortality decline from a year of school, simulated data still generates the same results as real data when put to the standard analysis. The other major test performed in this chapter is to vary the amount of unobserved heterogeneity allowed in the model to see how sensitive it is to this number. Chapter four performs various policy experiments using the model estimated in chapter one. It examines the cost and benefits of compulsory education policy, college cost policy, and smoking policies. While all of these policies have various effects, this chapter only looks at the health benefits of these levers and compares the various cost benefit ratios. Ultimately the conclusion is that even with the reduced benefit of education compared to the current literature, education investment as a health policy is most likely effective. However, policies that target health decisions, especially smoking are superior in terms of cost benefit ratios.

▼ In my dissertation, I apply empirical quantitative methods to marketing research and investigate consumer online search and purchase patterns, as well as digital consumption behaviors and the potential implication for marketing managers. This dissertation consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 studies the consumer shopping channel choice when they search and shop for products online. Mobile phones have emerged as a major channel for online shopping as an alternative to PCs. Despite more consumers using mobile phones, the conversion rate on the mobile channel is lower than that on the PC channel. In this study, we propose a structural consumer search-and-purchase model that endogenizes the channel choice to explain the observed data pattern. Results suggest starting a search session using mobile phones is less costly, but intensive search is costlier. Consequently, mobile phones attract consumers who tend to have lower overall purchase interests and will search less. Based on the results, we use counterfactuals to explore how online retailers can customize their marketing strategies for consumers on the two channels. We find the optimal price on mobile is 2. 7% lower than on PC. When sellers retarget non-purchasers by offering channel-specific coupons, the optimal coupon value is 6% higher for consumers on mobile than on PC. Sellersՠprofit increase will be 5. 1% higher when the retargeting coupons are channel specific. Chapter 2 examines consumersՠtime-inconsistent preferences in digital content consumption and their strategic self-control behaviors. We use a unique dataset obtained from a major digital book platform in China, where consumers can pay either by chapters or by monthly subscription. One-third of consumers consistently choose to pay by chapters, even though monthly subscription would significantly reduce the monetary cost. We propose a dynamic structural model that incorporates time-inconsistent preferences and strategic self-control behaviors to rationalize overpaying behavior. We first analytically demonstrate the existence of a unique equilibrium, and show how, under steady states, overpaying for reading may be optimal for consumers. We then estimate the model from the data. Results show that there is a large segment of consumers who are highly price-sensitive. They are also willing to overpay to curb future consumption. Our counterfactuals show that eliminating the pay-per-chapter plan would hurt consumer welfare and the platformճ profit. Eliminating the monthly subscription plan, however, would increase the platformճ profit but reduce consumer welfare. We introduce a novel nonlinear pricing plan with volume surcharge and illustrate how it can simultaneously improve the platformճ profit and consumer welfare. Advisors/Committee Members: Tat Y. Chan, Macus Berliant, Werner Ploberger, Seethu Seetharaman.

▼ markdownabstractBeing labeled as a social science, much of economics is about understanding human behavior; be it in the face of uncertainty or delayed payoffs through time or strategic situations such as auctions, bargaining, and so on. This thesis will be concerned with the first two, namely uncertainty and time preferences. The main focus of this thesis is what we can summarize with two broad titles: "irrationalities" in human behavior and an alternative perspective on 'rational behavior". My claim requires a clarification of what is meant by rational or irrational behavior. In one of the early discussions of this topic, Richter (1966) defined a rational consumer as someone for whom there exists a total, reflexive, and transitive binary relation on the set of commodities so that his choice data consists of maximal elements of this binary relation. In this respect, Richter (1966) only imposed minimal consistency conditions on behavior for it to be labeled as rational. Although his setting does not involve any uncertainty or time dimension, analogues of these conditions exist for the models we consider here as well. So one can extend the rationality notion of Richter (1966) to our models too. Yet the essence of his approach to rationality is different than the one we take up in this thesis. This minimalistic approach of Richter would leave little space for discussions on rational behavior because much behavior would be rational except for a few cleverly constructed counterexamples. Instead we will consider more widely accepted norms of rationality and analyze them in the framework of uncertainty and time preferences. The widely accepted norms of rationality mentioned above are understood to be axioms that lead to decision rules describing people's behavior. In the case of decision making under risk and uncertainty the most commonly used decision model is expected utility, and in the case of dynamic decision making, it is the constant discounted utility model. Although there are models that combine both to explain decision making in a dynamic stochastic settings, in this thesis we study them in isolation to assess the nature of the models in more detail.

Reverb är en effekt brukad inom bland annat musikproduktion för att mixa ljud, som flitigt används och är universellt erkänd som ett väsentligt verktyg. Däremot, inom domänen för röstinspelningar -framförallt radio och podcasts- är användningen av reverb mer begränsad, om inte obefintlig. Hur lyssnaren upplever en inspelning påverkas av efterklangen tillhörande den inspelningen. Alltså upplevs en lång efterklang tillhöra ett stort rum, medan ett mer dämpat ljud med en kort efterklang upplevs som ett litet rum. Ett nyhetsreportage som påminner om akustiken i en kyrka eller för den delen en inspelning i stil av en podcast -utan efterklang- kan upplevas svårt att lyssna på, framförallt med isolerande hörlurar. Många studier har publicerats om konceptet personligt föredragen efterklang för musik, men få finns för talad röst. Därför genomfördes denna studie med avsikt att hitta en konsensus mellan oberoende deltagare. Vilken efterklangstid föredras vid lyssning till en nyhetsrapport? Varje deltagare i studien lyssnade på sju versioner av en och samma röstinspelning i stilen av ett nyhetsreportage. Varianterna hade olika långa efterklangstider, från 0 ms till 800 ms. Därefter betygssatte deltagaren varje version av ljudklippet på en skala från 1 till 100, motsvarande hur nära inspelningen var till en perfekt lyssningsupplevelse enligt deras personliga preferens. Den extraherade datan från undersökningen indikerar en preferens mot lägre efterklangstider för det givna stimulit. Skillnaden mellan lägre efterklangstider visade sig vara mer signifikanta gentemot motsvarande intervall för längre efterklangstider. Den förväntade toppen för preferensbetygen mellan 200 och 400 ms kunde inte finnas, men avsaknaden av den kan till en del förklaras av flera faktorer, såsom: en skiljaktighet mellan ljudklippets och reverbets kvalitet, omfattningen av studien eller det faktum att ett träningsmoment saknades innan studiens start.

The reverb effect in the world of music production is frequently used and universally regarded as an essential tool. On the other hand in the domain of speech recordings -primarily radio and podcasts- is the use of reverberation more limited if even used at all. How the listener percieves a recording is affected by the reverberation of said recording. More precisely, a long reververation can be percieved as belonging to a large room, while a more damped sound with shorter reverberation sounds like a small room. A news broadcast sounding similar to church acoustics or a recording in the style of a podcast -with no room response- can be difficult to listen to, especially for a listener with isolating headphones. Many research articles and studies have been published about the concept of personally preferred reverberation for music, but very few for speech. Therefore this study was conducted with an intent to find a consensus between independent participants. What reverberation time is preferred when listening to a news report? Each participant in the study listened to a…

▼ Expanding travel choices by providing ridesharing can improve mobility and accessibility and reduce congestion and the negative externalities associated with single occupancy automobile use. To realize these benefits, sufficient demand must be generated by matching drivers and passengers with similar origins and destinations and who are willing to travel with potential strangers. Technological developments have facilitated the provision of real-time ridesharing programs, where travelers are matched to share a ride shortly before they travel. Real-time ridesharing offers additional flexibility and the possibility of occasional use that may be desirable in an increasingly complex society with varying schedules. While initial real-time travel options have been perceived as unattractive due to reliability and personal safety concerns, the growing success of real-time ride-sourcing services suggests that perceptions may be shifting. Furthermore, large employer-based ridesharing offers additional promise due to a network of co-workers with similar work locations facilitating good matches, increased familiarity with fellow travelers, and the ability to incentivize participation.A stated preference survey of The Ohio State University community was used to analyze willingness to participate in an idealized real-time employer-based ridesharing program. Individual characteristics and travel behaviors associated with unwillingness to participate in an ideal program are analyzed. Also, the characteristics and behaviors associated with interest in a passenger or driver role in such a program are identified. Many findings support results presented elsewhere and a priori expectations, for example an increased willingness of younger travelers to participate in ridesharing, an increased willingness of females to participate as passengers, and an increased willingness of those with experience driving to participate as drivers. In addition three findings provide important insights previously unidentified about traveler preferences toward ridesharing. Firstly, it seems that those who travel in automobiles, whether shared or alone, are more likely than those who do not travel in automobiles to participate in ridesharing. Also, those who walk or use transit seem to be less willing to participate in a ridesharing program than those who do not use these alternative modes. These findings are encouraging in light of the desire to attract single occupancy vehicle users, rather than transit users or walkers, to ridesharing to realize its social benefits. Secondly, the notion that providing ridesharing expands mobility and accessibility seems to be supported by the fact that those who do not have a car available to them tend to be more interested in being rideshare passengers than those who have a car available to them. Lastly, while those living with younger dependent children are more likely to reject ridesharing due to the constraints associated with this mode, among those who are interested in ridesharing, individuals living with… Advisors/Committee Members: McCord, Mark (Advisor), Mishalani, Rabi (Advisor).

▼ Life-cycle theory provides a theoretical framework for maximizing utility following the receipt of a wealth transfer. Empirical evidence has shown that the source of a transfer may affect how the transfer is framed. Individuals and households are affected by individual time preference, which is the process by which individuals weigh the tradeoffs of consumption across time and dissipation refers to the method by which funds drawn down across time. Also, the subjective weight that an individual puts on possible outcomes may affect demand for risky assets. Individual attributes like propensity to trust and locus of control are established personality constructs related to choice under uncertainty. This dissertation adds to the current body of knowledge of wealth change and preferred portfolio composition. Using life-cycle theory and framing as potential frameworks, results indicate that framing better explains subsequent variation in wealth among respondents who recently received an inheritance. Results show that a smaller transfer may be viewed as found money to be spent on immediate consumption rather than incorporated into life-cycle spending. Testing the relationship between time preference and dissipation risk by examining subsequent change in wealth among households who experienced significant increases in wealth provides insight into the relationship between time preference and wealth accumulation. Results indicate a higher propensity to continue saving and increase wealth over time for those who have lower time preference. This may lead to over-saving, based on life-cycle theory. The study of individual attributes like trust and time preference may provide insight into preference for risky assets. Results show that those who are less trusting are less likely to select a portfolio with risky assets and are more likely to prefer government bonds. Those closest to the median level of locus of control are more likely to prefer a large portion of government bonds, compared to individuals with low levels of locus of control.
