Abstract

Gerasimou (Econ Theory 61(1):127–145, 2016) characterizes partially dominant choice with acyclic underlying preferences. In this article, we characterize partially dominant choice with transitive underlying preferences. We argue that transitivity is a more appropriate assumption on the underlying preference because the model is interpreted in a way that the deviation from standard rational choice procedures is due to multi-dimensionality and incommensurability of desirable attributes.
