The α-MEU model and the smooth ambiguity model are two popular models in decision making under ambiguity. However, the axiomatic foundations of these two models are not completely understood. We provide axiomatic foundations of these models in a symmetric setting with a product state space...

This paper studies optimal decision rules for a decision maker who can consult two experts in an environment without monetary payments. This extends the previous work by Holmström (1984) and Alonso and Matouschek (2008) who consider environments with one expert. In order to derive optimal...

The results of an experiment extending Ellsberg's setup demonstrate that attitudes towards ambiguity and compound … uncertainty are closely related. However, this association is much stronger when the second layer of uncertainty is subjective … probabilities, and (3) are ambiguity non-neutral. By decomposing ambiguity into risk and model uncertainty, and jointly eliciting …

Anscombe and Aumann (1963) offer a definition of subjective probability in terms of comparisons with objective probabilities. That definition - which has provided the basis for much of the succeeding work on subjective probability - presumes that the subjective probability of an event is...

We experimentally explore decision-making under uncertainty using a framework that decomposes uncertainty into three … distinct layers: (1) physical uncertainty, entailing inherent randomness within a given probability model, (2) model … uncertainty, entailing subjective uncertainty about the probability model to be used and (3) model misspecification, entailing …
