Recursive preferences have found widespread application in representative-agent asset-pricing models and general equilibrium. A majority of these applications exploit two decision-theoretic properties not shared by the standard model of intertemporal choice: (i) agents care about the...

The paper provides a representation theorem for the class of all stationary preferences in a stochastic environment. A notion of ambiguity aversion applicable to such preferences is also proposed. The analysis helps discriminate between dynamic models of ambiguity aversion and expected utility...
