We explore the intuitive idea that more information leads to greater dispersion of posterior beliefs about the expected …. Then, for the class of monotone information systems, we characterize the weakest information criteria that respect OS and … states. Because of OS, the information criteria induce the dispersion orders not only on the posterior expectations of states …

This paper proves the Li (2009) [13] unawareness structure equivalent to the single-agent propositionally generated logic of awareness of Fagin and Halpern (1988) [4]. For any model of one type one can construct a model of the other type describing the same belief and awareness. Li starts from...

Let X be a compact, or path-connected, metric space whose topological dimension is at least 2. We show that there does not exist a continuous choice function (i.e., single-valued choice correspondence) defined on the collection of all finite feasible sets in X. Not to be void of content,...

Under which condition does the set of desirable uncertain prospects expand when wealth increases? We show that the decreasing concavity (DC) of the utility function u is necessary and sufficient in the α-maxmin expected utility model. In the smooth ambiguity aversion model with the ambiguity...

We introduce a ranking of multidimensional alternatives, including uncertain prospects as a particular case, when these objects can be given a matrix form. This ranking is separable in terms of rows and columns, and continuous and monotonic in the basic quantities. Owing to the theory of...

This paper characterizes variational Bewley preferences over Anscombe and Aumann acts, a class of binary relations that may fail completeness or transitivity vis à vis independence. The main result gives an axiomatization of preference relations ≿ represented as...
