Examples include … phenomena, as well as state-dependent multi-utility generalisations of popular ambiguity models …Many decision situations involve two or more of the following divergences from subjective expected utility: imprecision …

We show that ambiguity aversion increases the value of a statistical life as soon as the marginal utility of wealth is … higher if alive than dead. The intuition is that ambiguity aversion has a similar effect as an increase in the perceived … baseline mortality risk, and thus operates as the "dead anyway" effect. We suggest, however, that ambiguity aversion should …

A game-theoretic framework that allows for explicitly randomized strategies is used to study the e ect of ambiguity … predictions of two player games with ambiguity averse and with ambiguity neutral players are observationally equivalent. This … beliefs to the context of ambiguity aversion yields substantially di erent predictions even for the case with just two players. …

We develop a theory of optimal stopping problems under ambiguity in continuous time. Using results from (backward … from the agent's ambiguity aversion. We show how to use these general results for search problems and American Options. …

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 consider optimal stopping problems for ambiguity averse decision makers with multiple priors. In general, backward …

The adopted class of … preferences permits a three-way separation of risk aversion, ambiguity aversion, and the attitude toward intertemporal … substitution. Ambiguity averse agents are ambiguous about the probability distribution of productivity growth. We show that in the …
