We introduce a model of random ambiguity aversion. Choice is stochastic due to unobserved shocks to both information … and ambiguity aversion. This is modeled as a random set of beliefs in the maxmin expected utility model of Gilboa and … Schmeidler (1989). We characterize the model and show that the distribution of ambiguity aversion can be uniquely identified …

We propose and axiomatically characterize dynamically consistent update rules for decision making under ambiguity … of preferences over acts, to be able to reconcile typical behavior in the face of ambiguity (as exemplified by Ellsberg …’s paradox) with dynamic consistency for all non-null events. Updating takes the form of applying Bayes’ rule to subsets of the …

We ask what it implies for the updating of more … ambiguity aversion. This characterization extends to regret-based models as well. As an application of our general result, we …

, which leads to a recursive structure for utility, to 'rectangular' sets of priors and to prior-by-prior Bayesian updating as … the updating rule for such sets of priors. It is argued that dynamic consitency is intuitive in a wide range of situations … and that the model is consistent with a rich set of possibilities for dynamic behavior under ambiguity. …

This paper studies the effect of learning new information on decision under uncertainty.Using ambiguity models, we show … the effect of learning on beliefs and ambiguity attitudes. We develop a new method to correct beliefs for ambiguity … attitudes and decompose ambiguity attitudes into pessimism (capturing ambiguity aversion) and likelihood insensitivity. We apply …

Two rationality arguments are used to justify the link between conditional and unconditional preferences in decision theory : dynamic consistency and consequentialism. Dynamic consistency requires that ex ante contingent choices are respected by up dated preferences. Consequentialism states that...

Many theories of updating under ambiguity assume either dynamic consistency or consequentialism to underpin … consequentialism than with dynamic consistency and that this result is even stronger among ambiguity averse subjects. …
