Abstract

The endogeneity of preferences implies that not only individual preferences -along with technologies, government policies, and the organization of society and markets- determine economic outcomes, but also that the economic, social, legal, and cultural structure of society affects preferences. This paper develops a rational choice general equilibrium model of incomplete markets in which preferences are endogenously determined.
