Starting with the seminal paper of Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989) [32] an analogy between the maxmin approach of decision theory under ambiguity and the minimax approach of robust statistics – e.g., Blum and Rosenblatt (1967) [10] – has been hinted at. The present paper formally clarifies this...

We extend the Fundamental Theorem of Finance and the Pricing Rule Representation Theorem to the case in which market frictions are taken into account but the Put–Call Parity is still assumed to hold. In turn, we obtain a representation of the pricing rule as a discounted expectation with...

We study uncertainty averse preferences, that is, complete and transitive preferences that are convex and monotone. We establish a representation result, which is at the same time general and rich in structure. Many objective functions commonly used in applications are special cases of this...

This paper axiomatizes an intertemporal version of the Smooth Ambiguity decision model developed in [P. Klibanoff, M. Marinacci, S. Mukerji, A smooth model of decision making under ambiguity, Econometrica 73 (6) (2005) 1849-1892]. A key feature of the model is that it achieves a separation...
