John Rehbeck serves as Associate Professor of Economics at The Ohio State University, joining the Department of Economics in fall 2017. His research bridges microeconomic theory with empirical applications, focusing on revealed preference frameworks and experimental methodology. Educational background: Ph.D. in Economics, University of California, San Diego Rehbeck's work centers on revealed preference theory , investigating how observed choices reveal underlying preferences through rigorous theoretical modeling and experimental validation. He develops advanced econometric techniques for testing rationality axioms and measuring choice consistency, while exploring behavioral phenomena like nontransitive preferences and stochastic choice patterns. His methodological innovations address real-world complexities including menu-dependent decision rules and latent utility structures. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) Theoretical extensions of revealed preference frameworks incorporating permutation invariance and Bayesian updating; (2) Computational advances using integer programming for goodness-of-fit measurement; (3) Experimental investigations into value integration and risk preferences. Published in top journals including Econometrica , his work demonstrates consistent progression from foundational theory to market applications like cement industry analysis.
