Abstract

Understanding economic decision-making is essential for impactful policy design. In the literature, two main modelling paradigms exist: compensatory and non-compensatory. In this work, we advance the field of decision theory by developing a flexible choice model capable of approximating two modelling paradigms without imposing any a-priori assumptions. Furthermore, through the use of the proposed model, we empirically identify the decision strategy involved in the choice of Mobility-on-demand (MoD) services. Finally, independent of the modelling paradigm, we propose and empirically validate a framework to model the effect of interpersonal network on choice behaviour.
