摘要翻译：
本文阐述了当注意不仅是有限的而且是随机的时，人们如何从观察到的选择中推断出偏好。与以前的方法不同，我们引入了随机注意模型(RAM)，其中我们不考虑任何特定的注意形成，而是考虑一大类非参数随机注意规则。我们的模型强加了一个直观的条件，称为单调注意，它抓住了这样一个想法，即每个考虑集都在争夺决策者的注意。然后，我们在RAM中发展了揭示偏好理论，并获得了对可观察选择概率的精确可检验的含义。基于这些理论发现，我们提出了计量经济方法来识别、估计和推断决策者的偏好。为了说明我们的结果及其具体经验内容在特定环境中的适用性，我们还在二元选择问题的考虑集上的附加非参数假设下发展了揭示偏好理论和伴随的计量经济方法。最后，我们提供了估计和推断结果的通用软件实现，并通过仿真展示了它们的性能。

英文摘要：
  This paper illustrates how one can deduce preference from observed choices when attention is not only limited but also random. In contrast to earlier approaches, we introduce a Random Attention Model (RAM) where we abstain from any particular attention formation, and instead consider a large class of nonparametric random attention rules. Our model imposes one intuitive condition, termed Monotonic Attention, which captures the idea that each consideration set competes for the decision-maker's attention. We then develop revealed preference theory within RAM and obtain precise testable implications for observable choice probabilities. Based on these theoretical findings, we propose econometric methods for identification, estimation, and inference of the decision maker's preferences. To illustrate the applicability of our results and their concrete empirical content in specific settings, we also develop revealed preference theory and accompanying econometric methods under additional nonparametric assumptions on the consideration set for binary choice problems. Finally, we provide general purpose software implementation of our estimation and inference results, and showcase their performance using simulations.
