Prest
CV
Prest is an open-source and user-friendly Windows, macOS & GNU/Linux desktop application
for rational & bounded-rational revealed preference analysis.
It can be used to analyze choice datasets created by economists, psychologists and marketing researchers.
Its main novelties pertain to general datasets where choice alternatives are discrete.
Prest allows for estimating non-parametrically the decision maker's preferences from such general datasets.
It does so by finding out "how close" the observed choices are to being explainable by utility maximization or some more general model.
In this way, Prest recovers both the individual's decision rule and their preferences conditional on that rule.
