We provide an evolutionary foundation to evidence that in some situations humans maintain optimistic or pessimistic attitudes towards uncertainty and are ignorant to relevant aspects of the environment. Players in strategic games face Knightian uncertainty about opponents' actions and maximize...

It appears that the ambiguity premium is partially paid to avoid the ambiguity issue per se, which is distinct from … notions of second- order risk. This finding is robust even when there is only partial ambiguity, and is applicable to all …
