Competence has been recently proposed as an explanation for the degree of ambiguity aversion. Using general knowledge … that the sum of certainty equivalents for both bets depends on the judged knowledge of the class of events. We also … elicited the decision weights for events and complementary events. We found a similar effect of knowledge on the sum of …

There is a large theoretical literature in both economics and psychology on decision making under ambiguity (as … design, in which we create genuine ambiguity in the laboratory and can control the amount of ambiguity, we generate data … how the fit changes when we vary the ambiguity. We find that the Choquet formulation performs best overall, though it is …

Two rationality arguments are used to justify the link between conditional and unconditional preferences in decision theory: dynamic consistency and consequentialism. Dynamic consistency requires that ex ante contingent choices are respected by updated preferences. Consequentialism states that...

Before choosing her action to match the state of the world, an agent observes a stream of messages generated by some unknown binary signal. The agent can either learn the underlying signal for free and update her belief accordingly or ignore the observed message and keep her prior belief. After...
