摘要

为什么人们在选择过多的情况下仍然喜欢更大的选择集？我们提出了一个优柔寡断的模型，决策者发现在心理上做出权衡是痛苦的。我们表明，对权衡的厌恶会导致优柔寡断的行为（选择回避和选择过载）。然而，并非所有反对权衡的决策者都屈服于优柔寡断。意识到他们的权衡厌恶的决策者应该预见到优柔寡断的行为，并通过限制他们的考虑集来减轻他们。我们的研究结果表明，优柔寡断行为不仅仅是优柔寡断偏好的问题，也是自我意识的问题。

Trade-off aversion and indecisive behaviours

Why do people suffer from choice overload but still prefer larger choice sets? We present a model of indecision where decision makers find making trade-offs psychologically painful. We show that aversion to making trade-offs leads to indecisive behaviours (choice avoidance and choice overload). However, not all trade-off averse decision makers succumb to indecisions. Decision makers who are aware of their trade-off aversion should anticipate indecisive behaviours and mitigate them accordingly by restricting their consideration set. Our results suggest that indecisive behaviours are not simply a problem of having indecisive preferences but also a problem of self-awareness.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
