Ausgangspunkt sind die bekannten empirischen Verstöße gegen Axiome der Bernoulli-Rationalität und die Diskussion um seine präskriptive Ausschließlichkeit. Der Beitrag teilt Nichterwartungsnutzenkalküle in Kategorien ein, die sich für eine Modellierung unterschiedlicher Arten von...

In this paper, we consider a decision-maker who tries to learn the distribution of outcomes from previously observed cases. For each observed database of cases the decision-maker predicts a set of priors expressing his beliefs about the underlying probability distribution. We impose a version of...

The α-MEU model and the smooth ambiguity model are two popular models in decision making under ambiguity. However, the …

In this paper, we establish an axiomatically founded generalized recursive smooth ambiguity model that allows for a … separation among intertemporal substitution, risk aversion, and ambiguity aversion. We axiomatize this model using two approaches … Seo (2009). We characterize risk attitude and ambiguity attitude within these two approaches. We then discuss our model …

The precautionary principle (PP) applied to environmental policy stipulates that, in the presence of physical uncertainty, society must take robust preventive action to guard against worst-case outcomes. It follows that the higher the degree of uncertainty, the more aggressive this preventive...

Under mild conditions, we show that increases or decreases in ambiguity aversion cannot affect the relevant measures. This … property, necessary for the conclusion that these measures reflect only perceived ambiguity, distinguishes the set of relevant …
