The paper extends the Bierman-Hausman credit granting model by incorporating economic factors, which may vary randomly over time. Sufficient conditions are found for the optimality of simple credit policies. The monotonicity results are based on nonstandard orderings induced by the probability...

We provide characterizations of four new rules for individual decision-making under complete uncertainty. They are what …. Keywords and Phrases: Complete uncertainty, Nonprobabilistic decision rules …

This paper analyses decision models with an uncertain set of alternatives defined by a deterministic objective function … and constraints with uncertain coefficients. Here, in contrast to decisions under risk, the stochastic distribution of … uncertain coefficients is not known. On the basis of an uncertain multiobjective decision model, we define efficient …

We find that the different … Expected Utility and finally the Alpha type, whose decision time is always the lowest. Our results reflect the relative …

We investigate whether violations of canonical axioms of choice under risk are mistakes or a manifestation of true … preferences. Among the behavioral patterns that allow for a clear-cut interpretation on the decision level, we find that roughly …

We find evidence that decision errors are strongly correlated with hyperbolic discounting but do not find that … decision errors are correlated with the strong inverse-S-shaped probability weighting (w(p)) patterns in our two samples.
