摘要

I provide the first axiomatic characterization of Elimination by Aspects (EBA), a well-known model of stochastic choice originally proposed by Amos Tversky in 1972. The characterization based solely on observable choice behavior and does not assume that the underlying aspects are directly observable-treating them instead as subjective. I also discuss connections between EBA and related models of stochastic choice .
