This paper derives a representation of preferences for a choice theory with vague environments; vague in the sense that the agent does not know the precise lotteries over outcomes conditional on states. Instead, he knows only a possible set of these lotteries for each state. Thus, this paper's...

In this paper we consider the effect of ambiguity on the private provision of public goods. Equilibrium is shown to …

We present a non-technical account of ambiguity in strategic games and show how it may be applied to economics and … social sciences. Optimistic and pessimistic responses to ambiguity are formally modelled. We show that pessimism has the … ambiguity on peace-making are examined. It is shown that ambiguity may select equilibria in coordination games with multiple …

Individuals exhibit a randomization preference if they prefer random mixtures of two bets to each of the involved bets. Such preferences provide the foundation of various models of uncertainty aversion. However, it has to our knowledge not been empirically investigated whether uncertainty-averse...

This paper proposes a model of decision under ambiguity deemed vector expected utility, or VEU. In this model, an … that reflects the individual's perception of ambiguity and her attitudes toward it. The adjustment is itself a function of … the act's exposure to distinct sources of ambiguity, as well as its variability. The key elements of the VEU model are a …

In this paper we give an alternative characterization for time-consistent sets of measures in a discrete setting. For each measure P in a time-consistent set Ρ we get a distinct set of predictable processes which in return decribe the P uniquely. This implies we get a one-to-one correspondence...

We study a dynamic and infinite-dimensional model with Knightian uncertainty modeled by incomplete multiple prior preferences. In interior efficient allocations, agents share a common risk-adjusted prior and use the same subjective interest rate. Interior efficient allocations and equilibria...

We examine the impact of ambiguity on economic behaviour. We present a relatively non-technical account of ambiguity … and show how it may be applied in economics. Optimistic and pessimistic responses to ambiguity are formally modelled. We … also examine the effects of ambiguity on peace processes. It is shown that ambiguity can act to select equilibria in …
