Non-rationalizable Individuals, Stochastic Rationalizability, and Sampling
Experimental work regularly finds that individual choices are not deterministically rationalized by well-defined preferences. Nonetheless, recent work shows that data collected from many individuals can be stochastically rationalized by a distribution of well-defined preferences. We study the relationship between deterministic and stochastic rationalizability. We show that a population can be stochastically rationalized even when half of the individuals in the population cannot be deterministically rationalized. We also find the ability to detect individuals who are not deterministically rationalized from population level data can decrease as the number of observations increases.

On Locally Rationalizable Social Choice Functions
We consider a notion of rationalizability, where the rationalizing relation may depend on the set of feasible alternatives. More precisely, we say that a choice function is locally rationalizable if it is rationalized by…
RelationBerk-Nash Rationalizability
Misspecified learning -- where agents rely on simplified or biased models -- offers a unifying framework for analyzing behavioral biases, cognitive constraints, and systematic misperceptions. We introduce Berk--Nash rati…
Rationalizable Behavior in the Hotelling Model with Waiting Costs
This paper revisits the Hotelling model with waiting costs Kohlberg (1983), focusing on two specific settings where pure Nash equilibria do not exist: the asymmetric model with two firms and the symmetric model with thre…
Interim correlated rationalizability in large games
We provide general theoretical foundations for modeling strategic uncertainty in large distributional Bayesian games with general type spaces, using a version of interim correlated rationalizability. We then focus on the…
Learning Rationalizable Equilibria in Multiplayer Games
A natural goal in multiagent learning besides finding equilibria is to learn rationalizable behavior, where players learn to avoid iteratively dominated actions. However, even in the basic setting of multiplayer general-…
