This paper studies the effect of learning new information on decision under uncertainty.Using ambiguity models, we show … the effect of learning on beliefs and ambiguity attitudes. We develop a new method to correct beliefs for ambiguity … attitudes and decompose ambiguity attitudes into pessimism (capturing ambiguity aversion) and likelihood insensitivity. We apply …

Two rationality arguments are used to justify the link between conditional and unconditional preferences in decision theory: dynamic consistency and consequentialism. Dynamic consistency requires that ex ante contingent choices are respected by updated preferences. Consequentialism states that...

Many theories of updating under ambiguity assume either dynamic consistency or consequentialism to underpin … consequentialism than with dynamic consistency and that this result is even stronger among ambiguity averse subjects. …

Under mild conditions, we show that increases or decreases in ambiguity aversion cannot affect the relevant measures. This … property, necessary for the conclusion that these measures reflect only perceived ambiguity, distinguishes the set of relevant …
