Consider a choice between two random variables, for which only means and variances are known. Is it possible to rank them by putting some constraints on risk preferences? We provide such a ranking by bounding how much marginal utility can change. Such bounds enable us to rank all distributions...

We develop a continuum of stochastic dominance rules, covering preferences from first to second-order stochastic dominance. The motivation for such a continuum is that while decision makers have preference for "more is better," they are mostly risk averse but cannot assert that they would...

Important business, public policy, and personal decisions typically involve multiple objectives, which in turn can be represented by multiple attributes, and uncertainty. Assessing both multiattribute utility and multivariate distributions for the attributes can be challenging. Moreover, big...

We conduct an experiment meant to explore the factors driving customers' decisions in a queueing system. Under different time allowance conditions, the experimental subjects are asked to join one of two queues that differ in their length, server speed, and entry fee. We investigate some aspects...
