In this paper I use the smooth ambiguity model developed by Klibanoff, Marinacci, and Mukerji (2005) to define the … concepts of ambiguity and uncertainty premia in a way analogous to what Pratt (1964) did in the risk theory literature. I show … that those concepts may be useful to quantify the effect ambiguity has on the welfare of economic agents. I also provide …
