摘要
Most theories of decision-making under risk imply deterministic choice, yet actual choice appears to be stochastic, the resulting discrepancy being attributed to 'error'. This paper explores an alternative explanation - in which preferences are deterministic but choice is stochastic. Whilst being more satisfying from a theoretical perspective, our results show that the empirical performance is far from satisfactory.
