We present a preference foundation for Chance Theory (CT), a model of decision making under uncertainty where the … and the potential increments over it are evaluated by subjective expected utility with a risky utility function u. In … contrast to earlier approaches with models that aimed at separating riskless and risky utility, CT does not violate basic …

model generalizes many well known utility functions for intertemporal decision making under risk. A decision maker with a … weighted temporal utility function can have time consistent yet non-stationary preferences or stationary yet time inconsistent …We propose a novel utility representation for preferences over risky timed outcomes. The weighted temporal utility …

Preferences over risky alternatives can be elicited by different methods, including direct pairwise choices and willingness-to-accept valuations. The results are frequently at odds, casting doubts on the foundations of economics. We develop a stochastic choice model predicting when...

The preference reversal phenomenon is one of the most important, long-standing, and widespread anomalies contradicting economic models of decisions under risk. It describes the robust observation of frequent "standard reversals" where long-shot gambles are valued above moderate ones but then the...
