Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate new robust measures of investors’ preference for the form of regular corporate payout. Then, the paper adds to the empirical evidence on catering theory by examining managers’ catering to such preference. Design/methodology/approach The authors use the matching method to control for firm characteristics. The authors apply two robustness tests to validate the measures. The authors use the rigorous multivariate analysis. Findings US investors’ preference for regular dividends vs regular stock repurchases, being different forms of corporate payout, varies over time. Managers cater to investors’ preference for payout form. The findings are consistent with the catering theory of Baker and Wurgler (2004a). The number of firms that pay cash dividends regularly continue to outnumber the ones that purchase their shares regularly. Research limitations/implications The study only uses US data. It does not cover other countries. Practical implications The measures can be used in several future research endeavors, such as examining investors’ payout-form preferences in other countries (see Booth and Zhou, 2017) and exploring their determinants, the corporate governance characteristics of firms that cater to investors’ preference vs firms that do not, etc. Social implications The study contributes to understanding investors’ preferences and corporate payout behavior which is prerequisite to efficient policy formulation. Originality/value The proxies for investors’ payout-form preference control for firm characteristics and are unrelated to investors’ time-varying risk preferences. Also, they are robust to measurement issues. Moreover, the study covers a period of 40 years.

Abstract:

This paper begins by observing that any reflexive binary (preference) relation (over risky prospects) that satisfies the independence axiom admits a form of expected utility representation. We refer to this representation notion as the coalitional minmax expected utility representation. By adding the remaining properties of the expected utility theorem, namely, continuity, completeness, and transitivity, one by one, we find how this representation gets sharper and sharper, thereby deducing the versions of this classical theorem in which any combination of these properties is dropped from its statement. This approach also allows us to weaken transitivity in this theorem, rather than eliminate it entirely, say, to quasitransitivity or acyclicity. Apart from providing a unified dissection of the expected utility theorem, these results are relevant for the growing literature on boundedly rational choice in which revealed preference relations often lack the properties of completeness and/or transitivity (but often satisfy the independence axiom). They are also especially suitable for the (yet overlooked) case in which the decision‐maker is made up of distinct individuals and, consequently, transitivity is routinely violated. Finally, and perhaps more importantly, we show that our representation theorems allow us to answer many economic questions that are posed in terms of nontransitive/incomplete preferences, say, about the maximization of preferences, the existence of Nash equilibrium, the preference for portfolio diversification, and the possibility of the preference reversal phenomenon.

Abstract:

The theory of fuzzy sets has been applied to social choice primarily in the context where one is given a set of individual fuzzy preference relations and the aim is to find a non-fuzzy choice set of winners or best alternatives. In this article, we discuss the problem of composing multi-member deliberative bodies starting again from a set of individual fuzzy preference relations. We outline methods of aggregating these relations into a measure of how well each candidate represents each voter in terms of the latter's preferences. Our main goal is to show how the considerations discussed in the context of individual non-fuzzy complete and transitive preference relations can be extended into the domain of fuzzy preference relations.

Abstract:

Preferences and choices in a society are constant dynamic operations, made based on the behavioural dynamism of people. In this cosmic dynamism, they keep shifting from one stage to another, within the same cosmic space. Housing preferences and choices, like any other life interests, therefore operate within this framework. Unlike merchandised products brands, housing brands are hardly known, probably because of the heterogeneous nature of the housing product - the house. However, very little is known about the relevant housing attributes (refer to page 7). Housing preferences and choices operate within the framework of preferences and choices for housing attributes. In any preference and choice activity, there are underlying motivations that make it possible for an individual to choose from available alternatives within a given product field. This paper examines and outlines the methodological and theoretical framework of housing preferences and choices, based on the theory of means-end chain (MEC). Previous MEC applications in the field of architecture and urban design have been very useful and successful. The paper attempts to explore from literature the possibility of extending the previous methods and their applicability in design process. In dealing with user preference for housing, there is a need for research for a development of a technological tool to identify user needs and preference, and the kind of decision support that is required to identify these needs.

Abstract:

According to Downs, parties are forced to accommodate the preferences of the voters in order to win elections. However, Dunleavy and Ward argue that it is also possible for a party to use preference-shaping strategies to bring the preferences of the voters in line with the party's position. Using structural equation modelling, preference-shaping theory is tested in relation to the effect of sales of council houses and shares in privatised companies on the electorate's attitudes to economic policies under the 1979–92 Conservative governments in Britain. The analyses provide little support for preference-shaping theory, which seems in need of respecification if it is to be maintained.

Abstract:

We introduce CurmElo, a forced-choice approach to producing a preference ranking of an arbitrary set of objects that combines the Elo algorithm with novel techniques for detecting and correcting for (1) preference heterogeneity induced polarization in preferences among raters, and (2) intransitivity in preference rankings. We detail the application of CurmElo to the problem of generating approximately preference-neutral identifiers, in this case four-letter and five-letter nonsense words patterned on the phonological conventions of the English language, using a population of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers. We find evidence that human raters have significant non-uniform preferences over these nonsense words, and we detail the consequences of this finding for social science work that utilizes identifiers without accounting for the bias this can induce. In addition, we describe how CurmElo can be used to produce rankings of arbitrary features or dimensions of preference of a set of objects relative to a population of raters.

Abstract:

When students first study expected utility, they are inclined to interpret it as a theory that explains preferences for lotteries in terms of preferences for outcomes. Knowing U($100) and U($0), the agent can calculate that the utility of a gamble of $100 on a fair coin coming up heads is U($100)/2 + U($0)/2. Utilities are indices representing preferences, so in calculating the utility of the gamble, one is apparently giving a causal explanation for the agent's preference for the gamble.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on testing and identifying individual ambiguity preference under the framework of "smooth ambiguity preference" developed by Klibanoff, Marinacci, and Mukerji (2005). Following the seminal contributions of Allais (1953) and Ellsberg (1961), experimental data have consistently demonstrated that individuals do not behave in accordance with predictions of the expected utility model when they face uncertainty. As one important class of ambiguity utility, the smooth ambiguity model distinguishes ambiguity aversion from risk aversion, which makes the comparative statics possible. However, currently there is little work on testing and recovering such preferences based on observable choices. The dissertation contains four parts. Chapter 2 uses two approaches to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for observed individual portfolio choice to be compatible with the smooth ambiguity preference. The first approach is the revealed preference method, and is based on finite observations. The second approach is demand function testing, and is based on infinite observations. Chapter 3 establishes the conditions under which the smooth ambiguity preference can be uniquely identified from individual demand functions. In Chapter 4, I extend the argument of Varian (1988) to multiple observations and incomplete market case to non-parametrically test different shapes of risk aversion, and then to test hypotheses on shapes of ambiguity aversion. In Chapter 5, to use household survey data to identify household risk and ambiguity aversion, I build a simple parametric model to identify household risk and ambiguity aversion from their saving and portfolio choice. The data from the Bank of Italy Survey on Household Income and Wealth 2008 and 2010 support the constant relative risk aversion and constant relative ambiguity aversion hypothesis, and give evidence of the magnitude of household risk and ambiguity aversion.

Full text

Abstract:

Istihsan(juristic preference) deviates from and sometimes contradicts well-established general precepts of law. It calls for a considerable amount of personal judgment on the part of the jurist who applies it. In the early period of Islam, istihsan was identified with ra'y (personal opinion) which frequently lacked systematic guide-lines. Abu Hanifah (d. 150/767) does not consider istihsan as a merely arbitrary opinion. He believes that it is a procedure of setting aside an apparently strict ruling of analogy in the interest of fairness and justice.
On the other hand, Shafi'i (d. 204/819) adopts a text-oriented approach; he believes that a Muslim jurist is guided, not by intuition, but by textual evidence (dalil). He therefore subscribes to qiyas (inference by analogy) and rejects istihsan. An Hanafi jurist, Sarakhsi (d. 490/1096) later wrote a chapter on the explanation of qiyas, istihsan and takhsis al-'illah (particularization of the cause) as a rebuttal to Shafi'i's criticism of istihsan. Ibn Taymiyah (d. 728/1327), and Hanbali jurist, not only agrees with the istihsan, but believes that it is in reality takhsis al-'illah. To this effect, he wrote a treatise on istihsan and called it Mas'alat al-Istihsan.
This thesis studies the concept of istihsan as described by the above mentioned jurists, and some of their works on the subject are translated into English. The purpose of this thesis is to offer an historical study on juristic preference, its relationship with qiyas and takhsis al-'illah. This study attempts to add to our knowledge of istihsan and leads us to further and fuller analysis of why Shafi'i rejected it.

Abstract:

Conditional preference networks (CP-nets) exploit the power of ceteris paribus rules to represent preferences over combinatorial decision domains compactly. CP-nets have much appeal. However, their study has not yet advanced sufficiently for their widespread use in real-world applications. Known algorithms for deciding dominance---whether one outcome is better than another with respect to a CP-net---require exponential time. Data for CP-nets are difficult to obtain: human subjects data over combinatorial domains are not readily available, and earlier work on random generation is also problematic. Also, much of the research on CP-nets makes strong, often unrealistic assumptions, such as that decision variables must be binary or that only strict preferences are permitted. In this thesis, I address such limitations to make CP-nets more useful. I show how: to generate CP-nets uniformly randomly; to limit search depth in dominance testing given expectations about sets of CP-nets; and to use local search for learning restricted classes of CP-nets from choice data.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a case study about the choices and constraints faced by women clerical workers in a labour market where they have very little autonomy in negotiating their pay and conditions of employment. On the one hand, clerical work has developed as a feminised occupation with a history of being low in status and low paid. On the other hand, it is an ideal occupation for women wanting to combine work and family across their life cycle. How these two phenomena impact upon women clerical workers ability to negotiate enterprise agreements is the subject of this thesis. From a theoretical perspective this thesis builds upon Catherine Hakim�s preference theory which explores the choices women clerical workers� make in relation to their work and family lives. Where Hakim�s preference theory focuses on the way in which women use their agency to determine their work and life style choices, this thesis gives equal weighting to the impact of agency and the constraints imposed by external structures such as the availability of part-time work and childcare, as well as the impact of organisational culture. The research data presented was based on face-to-face interviews with forty female clerical workers. The clerical workers ranged in age from 21 to 59 years of age. The respondents were made up of single or partnered women without family responsibilities, women juggling work and family, and women who no longer had dependent children and were approaching retirement. This thesis contends that these clerical workers are ill placed to optimise their conditions of employment under the new industrial regime of enterprise bargaining and individual contracts. Very few of the women were union members and generally they were uninformed about their rights and entitlements.

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a review of methods for design under uncertainty. Specifically, we examine Reliability-Based Design, Robust Design, and Risk-Informed Design from the perspective of utility theory. Although these methods account for uncertainty, they differ from utility theory in that they limit the types of preferences that can be expressed. Limitations on the types of preferences that can be expressed can be valuable to designers because they reduce the effort required to elicit preference. However, the value of these methods for a particular design scenario depends greatly on the appropriateness of the preference model they implicitly impose. As such, they should be used with caution; they should not be applied when the associated preference models are not reasonable approximations of the designer’s true preferences. To help designers decide when the methods are appropriate, we identify the preference models by formulating the methods in a common framework of utility theory. The methods are then critically examined and compared based on their costs and the value they add to the design process.

Abstract:

Well-behaved preferences (e.g., total pre-orders) are a cornerstone of several areas in artificial intelligence, from knowledge representation, where preferences typically encode likelihood comparisons, to both game and decision theories, where preferences typically encode utility comparisons. Yet weaker (e.g., cyclical) structures of comparison have proven important in a number of areas, from argumentation theory to tournaments and social choice theory. In this paper we provide logical foundations for reasoning about this type of preference structures where no obvious best elements may exist. Concretely, we compare and axiomatize a number of ways in which the concepts of maximality and optimality can be generalized in this general class of preferences. We thereby expand the scope of the long-standing tradition of the logical analysis of preference.

Abstract:

Abstract Multiattribute utility theory is commonly used to define and represent the decision-maker’s preferences under conditions of uncertainty and risk. A major issue in implementing this approach deals with the identification and generation of appropriate utility functions, especially in an often nonlinear and complex engineering design environment. Typically, the decision-maker’s preferences are provided through lottery questions rather than based on deductive reasoning to reflect the nonlinear tradeoffs among the attributes. The use of such an intuitive procedure can lead to inconsistent and inexact preference information that may result in inaccuracy and rank reversal problems. Alternatively, this paper presents an Interactive Preference-Modeling (IPM) method towards a consistent preference representation in engineering design. Focusing on the preference orientation by implicitly articulating the designer’s priorities, this method provides a methodical framework to check and eliminate inconsistency in preference information, and to accurately express preferences through rational pairwise comparisons. The development of IPM method and its utilization in the determination of the system utility function from a consistent set of local utility functions are presented in the context of a beam design problem and the results are discussed.

Abstract:

Given the growing demand for a workforce with an understanding of system of systems, there is a need to assess an individual’s systems thinking skills. This research was undertaken to address this need by measuring an individual’s inclination to work on complex system problems based on their systems thinking score. This article investigates the correlation between employment domains and an individual’s systems thinking preferences/skills. Results of this research show that each employment domain is significantly different in their systems thinking preferences/skills profiles as well as significantly different in how the employment domains perceive change and their system’s worldview.
