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...

Abstract In our previous work, we have extended the classical notion of increasing convex stochastic dominance relation with respect to a probability to the more general case of a normalized monotone (but not necessarily additive) set function, also called a capacity. In the present paper, we...

Consequently, they do not allow for Knightian uncertainty, or ambiguity, with respect to … accident risk and cannot accommodate optimism (ambiguity loving) or pessimism (ambiguity aversion). This paper presents a … unilateral accident model under ambiguity. To incorporate ambiguity, I adopt the Choquet expected utility framework and represent …

In the framework of Knightian uncertainty more precisely in the model introduced by Epstein and Schneider 3 different questions concerning the aspect of time-consistency, in the sense of m-stability or rectangularity, are studied.The first part describes an alternative description of...

We seek an evolutionary explanation for why in some situations humans maintain either optimistic or pessimistic attitudes towards uncertainty and are ignorant to relevant aspects of their environment. Players in strategic games face Knightian uncertainty about opponents' actions and maximize...

their beliefs. We study these "imprecise probabilities", also known as ambiguous beliefs. We show that imprecision is … measurable separately from the levels of risk beliefs. People with higher levels of imprecision update their beliefs more in … response to a randomized information treatment, and new information also causes changes in imprecision levels. We show that we …

If a decision maker, in a world of uncertainty à la Anscombe and Aumann (1963), can choose acts according to some objective probability distribution (by throwing dice for instance) from any given set of acts, then there is no set of acts that allows an experimenter to test more than the Axiom...
