The comparison between Ellsberg and Shackle … of the boundaries of probability theory that is in the same vein of Ellsberg's and Shackle's concern in the years of the … the criteria for decision under uncertainty they put forward.

This paper uses laboratory experiments to study subjects’ assessment of uncertainty resulting from strategic and non … and examine if they satisfy the law of probability including monotonicity and additivity. Violations from the law are … observed for both uncertainty sources, but are more substantial for strategic uncertainty. In particular, we observe a …

This paper demonstrates that well-established biases in decision making under uncertainty can generate poverty traps. A … theoretical framework is developed to demonstrate that: i) probability weighting and ambiguity attitude can lead individuals to …

In fact, it is also the formal measures used in the …This paper discusses the evolution of decision theory after Savage's Foundations. Two developments are examined. First …, it is presented the rationale of Shackle's proposal to abandon probabilistic decision making. Second, it is discussed the …
