Machina and Schmeidler [Machina, M., Schmeidler, D., 1992. A more robust definition of subjective probability. Econometrica 60, 745-780] show that probabilistic sophistication can be obtained in a Savage setting without imposing expected utility by dropping Savage's axiom P2 (sure-thing...

A non-trivial, transitive and reflexive binary relation on the set of lotteries satisfying independence that also satisfies any two of the following three axioms satisfies the third: completeness, Archimedean and mixture continuity (Dubra, 2011). This paper generalizes Dubra’s result in two...

This paper axiomatizes expected multi-utility representations of incomplete preferences under risk and under uncertainty. The von Neumann–Morgenstern expected utility model with incomplete preferences is revisited using a “constructive” approach, as opposed to earlier treatments that use...

This note explores the connections between continuity and completeness under alternative conceptions of preference relations. For non-trivial preorders, it shows that, unlike the standard definitions, the weak preference relation defined in Galaabaatar and Karni (2010) allows for incomplete...
