The Quest for Hegemony Among Countries and Global Pollution
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-01)This paper builds on the assumption that countries behave in such a way as to improve, via their economic strength, the probability that they will attain the hegemonic position on the world stage. The quest for hegemony is modeled as a game, with ... -
Random consideration and choice: A case study of «default» options
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-11)A growing number of stochastic choice models include a “default” option for situations where the decision maker selects none of the feasible alternatives. While this is a welcome development, these models also present an empirical challenge - since the ... -
Rank Regressions, Wage Distributions and the Gender Gap
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)In this paper, we model the interactions between the distribution of male and female wages under the assumption that any change in the wage distribution of women must be offset by an opposite change in the wage distribution of men. -

Ranking by rating
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2016-02)Each item in a given collection is characterized by a set of possible performances. A (ranking) method is a function that assigns an ordering of the items to every performance profile. Ranking by Rating consists in evaluating each item’s performance ... -
Ranking Sets of Objects
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)We provide a survey of the literature on ranking sets of objects. The interpretations of those set rankings include those employed in the theory of choice under complete uncertainty, rankings of opportunity sets, set rankings that appear in matching ... -
Rational Choice on Arbitrary Domains: A Comprehensive Treatment
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2005)The rationalizability of a choice function on arbitrary domains by means of a transitive relation has been analyzed thoroughly in the literature. Moreover, characterizations of various versions of consistent rationalizability have appeared in recent ... -
The Rationality of Revolution
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)Did the recent transition to liberal democracy in Eastern Europe consitute revolutions? Here, game theory is used to structure an explanation of institutional change proposed by Harold Innis (1950). -
Rationality, External Norms and the Epistemic Value of Menus
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-06)Ever since Sen’s (1993; 1997) criticism on the notion of internal consistency or menu independence of choice, there exists a widespread perception that the standard revealed preference approach to the theory of rational choice has difficulties in coping ... -
Rationalizability of Choice Functions on General Domains without Full Transitivity
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)The rationalizability of a choice function by means of a transitive relation has been analyzed thoroughly in the literature. However, not much seems to be known when transitivity is weakened to quasi-transitivity or acyclicity. We describe the logical ... -
Réduction du risque des invalidités liées à la consommation de l’alcool : l’effet à long terme de l’introduction de la loi zéro tolérance

Reference Groups and Individual Deprivation
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)We provide an axiomatization of Yitzhaki’s index of individual deprivation. Our result differs from an earlier characterization due to Ebert and Moyes in the way the reference group of an individual is represented in the model. Ebert and Moyes require ...
