摘要
This paper investigates the relative empirical performance of 3 stories of 'error' in decision-making in experiments finding that the constant-error-probability story does not fit particularly well, but that the white noise and stochastic preference stories perform considerably better. The paper concludes by suggesting ways of testing between these two. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
