This paper extends decision making under risk and uncertainty to group theory via representations of invariant … in decision theory. Moreover, representations include the special unitary group SU(2) and orthogonal group Θ …-Pauli Hamiltonian to compute, inter alia, time dependent probabilities in decision field theory …

weak preference ordering. For choice under risk (resp. uncertainty), preferences are assumed to be represented by the … objectively (resp. subjectively) expected value of a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function. For choice under risk, this implies … concerning behavior in decision trees. Following Cubitt (1996) , these principles include dynamic consistency, separability, and …

In this paper we offer an alternative framework for examining why risk matters in the decisions of economic agents, and … how the agent’s risk attitude affects his decisions. This “Threshold Theory” framework is based on a real options approach … influence the agent’s risk attitude. The theory’s predictions help to explain many anomalies that the standard expected utility …

This paper theoretically and experimentally studies decision-making in risky and social environments. We explore the … interdependence of individual risk attitudes and social preferences in form of inequality aversion as two decisive behavioral … determinants in such contexts. Our model and the data demonstrate that individual risk aversion is attenuated when lagging behind …

We address the problem of choosing a portfolio of policies under "deep uncertainty." We introduce the idea of belief dominance as a way to derive a set of non-dominated portfolios and robust individual alternatives. Our approach departs from the tradition of providing a single recommended...

The alpha-maxmin model is a prominent example of preferences under Knightian uncertainty as it allows to distinguish ambiguity and ambiguity attitude. These preferences are dynamically inconsistent for nontrivial versions of α. In this paper, we derive a recursive, dynamically consistent...
