| This dissertation contains three essays on choice and voting theory. In Chapter 1, a model of stochastic choice is proposed and characterized. Randomness in choice is driven by variability in the availability of alternatives. Chapter 2 addresses the classic implementation problem in a spatial setting. A social choice rule is recommended that can be viewed as a spatial analogue to majority rule as originally axiomatized by May (1952). Chapter 3 investigates testability, identification, and estimation in a large class of models used in modeling voting behavior. The models have relevance to the growing number of online voting platforms. |
