行为异质性的度量
A Measure of Behavioral Heterogeneity
摘要
In this paper, we propose a novel way to measure behavioral heterogeneity in a population of stochastic individuals. Our measure is choice-based; it evaluates the probability that, over a randomly selected menu, the sampled choices of two sampled individuals differ. We provide axiomatic foundations for this measure and a decomposition result that separates heterogeneity into its intrapersonal and interpersonal components. (JEL D01, D11, D91)
中文摘要
本文提出了一种衡量随机个体群体中行为异质性的新方法。该度量基于选择行为，评估在随机选取的菜单上，两个随机个体的抽样选择存在差异的概率。我们为这一度量提供了公理化基础，并给出了一个分解结果，将异质性区分为个体内与个体间两个组成部分。（JEL D01, D11, D91）
