John Maynard Keynes’s Upper and Lower Valued Probabilities : A Study of How Statisticians, Philosophers, Logicians, Historians, and Economists Failed to Comprehend Keynes’s Breakthrough Application of G.Boole’s Interval Approach to Probability in the 20th Century
Brady, Michael Emmett - 2017
that J M Keynes’s contributions to probability and decision theory were of a comparative, qualitative nature only. They … approach in applied areas like decision theory. I have chosen Kyburg, Runde ,and Levi because they are representative of how … complete the job of correctly identifying Keynes’s theory because they restricted their analysis to basically one chapter of …

Indeterminate Probabilities and Smithian and Keynesian Uncertainty
Brady, Michael Emmett - 2014
Smith, Keynes, and Knight, in that order, made seminal contributions to decision making which emphasized uncertainty and indeterminate probabilities, as opposed to mere imprecision. De Finetti’s views on uncertainty are diametrically opposed to those of Smith, Keynes, and Knight once the clear...

J M Keynes's Concept of Uncertainty has Nothing to do with Paul Davidson's Ergodic-Non Ergodic Distinction, which Requires that the Limiting-Relative Frequency Interpretation of Probability be the General Case
Brady, Michael Emmett - 2013
uncertainty in the General Theory is based on the ergodic-non ergodic distinction. It is easy to show that this is false because … footnotes in the General Theory that established the link between Uncertainty and the Weight of the argument (evidence). This … based on Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) theory, which is based on the Ramsey-De Finetti-Savage-Friedman personalist …
