Two rationality arguments are used to justify the link between condi-tional and unconditional preferences in decision theory: dynamic consistencyand consequentialism. Dynamic consistency requires that ex ante contingentchoices are respected by updated preferences. Consequentialism states...

This paper investigates whether preference interactions can explain why risk preferences change over time and across contexts. We conduct an experiment in which subjects accept or reject gambles involving real money gains and losses. We introduce within-subject variation by alternating...

We propose a novel utility representation for preferences over risky timed outcomes. The weighted temporal utility … model generalizes many well known utility functions for intertemporal decision making under risk. A decision maker with a … weighted temporal utility function can have time consistent yet non-stationary preferences or stationary yet time inconsistent …
