We provide a simple behavioral definition of 'subjective mixture' of acts for a large class of (not necessarily expected-utility) preferences. Subjective mixtures enjoy the same algebraic properties as the 'objective mixtures' used to great advantage in the decision setting introduced by...

A decision maker (DM) is characterized by two binary relations. The first reflects choices that are rational in an "objective" sense: the DM can convince others that she is right in making them. The second relation models choices that are rational in a "subjective" sense: the DM cannot be...

We characterize, in the Anscombe-Aumann framework, the preferences for which there are a utility functionu on outcomes and an ambiguity indexc on the set of probabilities on the states of the world such that, for all acts f and g, Copyright The Econometric Society 2006.

We propose and characterize a model of preferences over acts such that the decision maker prefers act f to act g if and only if <openface>E</openface>_μφ( <openface>E</openface>_πu&cir;f) &ges; <openface>E</openface>_μφ( <openface>E</openface>_πu&cir;g), where <openface>E</openface> is the expectation operator, u is a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function, φis an increasing transformation, and μis a...
