How General Are Measures of Choice Consistency? Evidence from Experimental and Scanner Data
Choice consistency with utility maximization is a fundamental assumption in economic analysis and is extensively measured across various contexts. Here we investigate the generalizability of consistency measures derived from purchasing decisions using supermarket scanner data and budgetary decisions from lab-in-the-field experiments. We observe a lack of correlation between consistency scores from supermarket purchasing decisions and those from risky decisions in the experiment. However, we observe moderate correlations among experimental tasks and low to moderate correlations across purchasing categories and time periods within the supermarket. These results suggest that choice consistency may be characterized as a multidimensional skill set.

Tradeoffs and Comparison Complexity
This paper develops a theory of how tradeoffs govern comparison complexity, and how this complexity generates systematic mistakes in choice. In our model, options are easier to compare when they involve less pronounced t…
