This paper considers electoral competition between two office-motivated parties and one voter, in the presence of two alternative policies and under imperfect information. The theory of refinements of Nash equilibrium predicts the outcome of this three-player game: both parties faithfully use...

We model and solve best choice problems in the multiple prior framework: An ambiguity averse decision maker aims to … choose the best among a fixed number of applicants that appear sequentially in a random order. The agent faces ambiguity … strategy is simple. Ambiguity can lead to substantial differences to the classical threshold rule. Copyright Springer …

In this paper, we extend Aumann’s (Ann Stat 4:1236–1239, <CitationRef CitationID="CR1">1976</CitationRef>) probabilistic agreement theorem to situations in which agents’ prior beliefs are represented by a common neo-additive capacity. In particular, we characterize the family of updating rules for neo-additive capacities, which are...</citationref>

This paper studies the “dual” theory of the smooth ambiguity model introduced by Klibanoff et al. (Econometrica 73 …:1849–1892, <CitationRef CitationID="CR14">2005</CitationRef>). Unlike the original model, we characterize attitudes toward ambiguity captured … by second-order probabilities. First, we give a set of axioms to derive a dual representation of the smooth ambiguity …
