Rabin (2000) proved that a low level of risk aversion with respect to small gambles leads to a high, and absurd, level of risk aversion with respect to large gambles. Rabin's arguments strongly depend on expected utility theory, but we show that similar arguments apply to general non-expected...

This paper deals with nonexpected utility preferences over multivariate distributions. The authors present two equivalent dominance axioms, implying an additivety separable structure of the local utility functions. They also imply that nonexpected utility functionals directly depend on the...
