Two non-expected-utility-theory approaches to model decision making under risk are regret theory (Loomes and Sugden …, 1982; Bell, 1982) and salience theory (Bordalo, Gennaioli, and Shleifer, 2012). While the psychological underpinning of … theory is a special case of regret theory. Moreover, we trace out the relationship between diminishing sensitivity of the …

I provide a novel simplified approach to Savage's theory of subjective expected utility. Such an approach is based on …

This paper investigates a decision making process involving both risk and uncertainty. The decision-maker is imagined to have a taxonomy of events in 'risky', 'catastrophic' and 'very favorable' and that she/he behaves differently with respect to them. A representation theorem, which...

We propose a multivariate extension of Yaari's dual theory of choice under risk. We show that a decision maker with a …

This paper analyzes the stability and distribution of ambiguity attitudes using a broad population sample. Using high-powered incentives, we collected six waves of data on ambiguity attitudes about financial markets – our main application – and climate change. Estimating a structural...

We investigate consequences of ambiguity on efficient allocations in an exchange economy. Ambiguity is embodied in the model uncertainty perceived by the consumers: they are unsure what would be the appropriate probability measure to apply to evaluate consumption and keep in consideration a set...

This paper investigates a decision-making process involving both risk and uncertainty. The decision-maker is supposed to split events between "familiar", and "unfamiliar" ones, and she/he is assumed to behave differently with respect to them. In particular, it is showed that the DM overweighs...

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 …

We consider the allotment problem of homogeneous indivisible goods among agents with single-peaked and risk-averse von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility functions. We establish that a rule satisfies coalitional strategy-proofness, same-sideness, and strong symmetry if and only if it is the...
