Uncertainty and Risk : Mental, Formal, Experimental Representations

edited by Mohammed Abdellaoui, R. Duncan Luce, Mark J. Machina, Bertrand Munier

This book tries to sort out the different meanings of uncertainty and to discover their foundations. It shows that uncertainty can be represented using various tools and mental guidelines. Coverage also examines alternative ways to deal with risk and risk attitude concepts. Behavior under uncertainty emerges from this book as something to base more on inquiry and reflection rather than on mere intuition.
