Choice foundations: Diagnostic tools for individual-level model development

该项目旨在通过更好地代表人们如何决策，改善交通、环境和卫生等领域的政策制定。一个由经济学家和心理学家组成的跨学科团队将建立在新的数学和统计工具上，以测试人们是否遵守作为观察到的选择行为基础的选择公理。该项目将编制一套计算机化统计工具，以使用贝叶斯方法检验选择公理，从而能够在国家和国际两级改进广泛的应用经济学工作。

This project aims to improve policy making in areas such as transport, environment and health, by better representation of how people make decisions. An interdisciplinary team of economists and psychologists will build on new mathematical and statistical tools to test for adherence to choice axioms that underlie observed choice behaviour. The project will produce a set of computerized statistical tools to implement the testing of choice axioms using Bayesian methods with the capacity to improve a wide array of applied economics work at the national and international levels.
