For choice with deterministic consequences, the standard rationality hypothesis is ordinality, i.e., maximization of a … weak preference ordering. For choice under risk (resp. uncertainty), preferences are assumed to be represented by the … objectively (resp. subjectively) expected value of a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function. For choice under risk, this implies …
