Preferences may arise from regret, i.e., from comparisons with alternatives forgone by the decision maker. We ask whether regret-based behavior is consistent with non-expected utility theories of transitive choice. We show that the answer is no. If choices are governed by ex ante regret and...

Von Neumann Morgenstern (NM) expected utility forms a part of the foundations of theoretical defence economics and the economic analysis of terrorism. NM expected utility maximisation can be used to derive important results with implications for government defence policies. However, the amount...

This paper analyzes decisions on emissions of a stock pollutant under uncertainty in a two period model. Decisions are based on a weighted average of expected utility (EU) and the MaxiMin criterion. I first show that more weight on the worst case (less weight on EU) may lead to increased first...

Loomes & Sudgen (1982) and Fishburn (1987) asked a long-puzzling question: can the concept of regret be compatible with transitivity? Under risk, Bikhchandani & Segal (BS 2011) proved that any transitive regretbased behavior is expected utility. From von Neumann–Morgenstern framework to...

theory of quantifiable beliefs - a form of probabilistic sophistication that does not preclude state-dependent preferences … and does not require the reduction of compound lotteries. The theory includes the state-dependent expected utility model … special cases. The theory is flexible enough to admit recursivity in the decision-making process. One specific example of this …
