摘要：

We discuss how information about diversity of alternatives may affect our judgments about an individual's freedom of choice as reflected in the available set of alternatives. We provide an axiomatic characterization of a similarity-based rule for ranking alternative opportunity sets in terms of the individual's freedom of choice. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
