In a multiple priors model á la Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989), we provide necessary and sufficient behavioral conditions ensuring the countable additivity and non-atomicity of all priors. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg 2005

In a two-period sunspot economy with inside money and "S" possible realizations of the sunspot, we prove that, generically in the space of utility functions, there are ["S" - 1] degrees of real indeterminacy. This result generalizes the previously known result for sunspot models that,...

This paper analyzes through a simple two-period model the fact that, if some agents hold inside money intertemporally, the second-period "normalization" matters. Thus, there are several equilibria of the second-period economy, indexed by the level of inflation. A concept of equilibrium...

This paper studies monotone risk aversion, the aversion to monotone, mean-preserving increase in risk (Quiggin [21]), in the Rank Dependent Expected Utility (RDEU) model. This model replaces expected utility by another functional, characterized by two functions, a utility function u in...

Following the seminal works of Schmeidler (1989), Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989), roughly put, an agent’s subjective beliefs are said to be ambiguous if the beliefs may not be represented by a unique probability distribution, in the standard Bayesian fashion, but instead by a set of...
