Does AHP help us make a choice? - An experimental evaluation

Ishizaka, Alessio; Balkenborg, Dieter; Kaplan, Todd R - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at...

A Decision Analysis Approach To Solving the Signaling Game

Cobb, Barry; Basuchoudhary, Atin - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

Decision analysis has traditionally been applied to choices under uncertainty involving a single decision maker. Game theory has been applied to solving games of strategic interaction between two or more players. Building upon recent work of van Binsbergen and Marx (2007. Exploring relations...

Variational optimization of probability measure spaces resolves the chain store paradox

Gagen, Michael; Nemoto, Kae - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2006

. This optimization method requires that players adopt a particular type of probability measure space. Here, we introduce … optimization methods to locate novel equilibria. These variational methods can reconcile game theoretic prediction and observed … human behaviours, as we illustrate by resolving the chain store paradox. Our generalized optimization analysis has …
