Can intertemporal choice experiments elicit time preferences for consumption? (2007, background): “Sugden (1998, 2004) discusses how to rank opportunity sets without coherent preferences.”
Stochastic Choice and Consideration Sets (2012, background): “General frameworks to study welfare in a bounded rationality context are those of Sugden [45], Bernheim and Rangel [4] and Rubinstein and Salant [41].”
The Community of Advantage (2018, methodology): “The first finished product of this programme of work was a paper that showed how some of the classic theoretical results of welfare economics could be reformulated in terms of opportunity (Sugden, 2004).”
Experienced Utility as a Standard of Policy Evaluation (2005, background): “For our respective views, see Kahneman (2000a, c) and Sugden (2004, 2005b).”
On Nudging: A Review of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein (2009, background): “I have proposed an approach that is very different from soft paternalism, and whose principal objective is to retain the liberal, anti‐paternalist thrust of traditional welfare economics while recognising that individuals’ choices often contravene standard rationality assumptions (Sugden, 2004 , 2”
Why incoherent preferences do not justify paternalism (2008, background): “In two previous papers, I have investigated how markets respond to incoherent preferences over well-defined consumer goods sold under competitive conditions ( Sugden 2004, R. Sugden, unpublished).”
