Second, the agent's preferences are sensitive to this ambiguity … calibrate the level of ambiguity aversion to match only the first moment of the risk-free rate in data, and ambiguity to match …

ambiguity averse relation. First, we define two notions of more ambiguous with respect to such a class. A more ambiguous (I) act … makes an ambiguity averse decision maker (DM) worse off but does not affect the welfare of an ambiguity neutral DM. A more … ambiguous (II) act adversely affects a more ambiguity averse DM more, as measured by the compensation they require to switch …

We calibrate ambiguity aversion to match only the first moment of the risk-free rate in data and …

The final step in the proof of Proposition 1 (p.311) of Mukerji and Tallon (2003) may not hold in generalbecause $\varepsilon0$ in the proof cannot be chosen independently of $w,z$. We point out by a counterexample that the axioms they impose are too weak for Proposition 1. We introduce a...

We examine a variety of preference-based definitions of ambiguous events in the context of the smooth ambiguity model … ambiguity model, we show that Ghirardato and Marinacci (2002) would identify the same set of ambiguous and unambiguous events as … more interesting source is that these two definitions can confound non-constant ambiguity attitude and the ambiguity of an …

Under mild conditions, we show that increases or decreases in ambiguity aversion cannot affect the relevant measures.

Are foundations of models of ambiguity-sensitive preferences too flawed to be usefully applied to economic models?  Al …-Najjar and Weinstein do not apply to quite a few of the ambiguity preference models of more recent vintage, and therefore to that … extent do not undermine the foundational aspects or applicability of ambiguity models in general.  Second, we argue the focus …
