parties use a common language, but do not share a common understanding of the world, leading to ambiguity in both syntactic … and semantic forms. In contractual relationships, ambiguity leads to disagreement and disputes. We show that the agents …

We focus on aspects of differential awareness that give rise to contractual disputes. Parties to a contract are boundedly rational as the state space available to them is coarser than the complete state space. Hence, they may disagree as to which state of the world has occurred, and therefore as...

In Ghirardato, Macheroni and MArcinaccri (GMM) propose a method for distinguishing between percieved ambiguity and the … subclass of a-MEU preferences. We show that for Hurwicz preferences the proposed measure of ambiguity depends on parameters … which intuitively reflect ambiguity-attitude. Furthermore, any a-MEU preferences which satisfy the CEU axioms, satisfy GMM …

We present a definition of increasing uncertainty, in which an elementary increase in the uncertainty of any act corresponds to the addition of an `elementary bet' that increases consumption by a fixed amount in (relatively) `good' states and decreases consumption by a fixed (and possibly...

Raiffa (1961) has suggested that ambiguity aversion will cause a strict preference for randomization. We show that … for a dynamically-consistent ambiguity averse preference relation to exhibit a strict preference for some ex post … randomizations. We argue that our analysis throws some light on the recent debate about paradoxes for the smooth model of ambiguity …

This paper studies how updating affects ambiguity attitude. In particular we focus on generalized Bayesian updating of … the Jaffray–Philippe sub-class of Choquet Expected Utility preferences. We find conditions for ambiguity attitude to be … the same before and after updating. A necessary and sufficient condition for ambiguity attitude to be unchanged when …

We give a formal treatment of optimal risk sharing contracts in the face of ambiguity. The central idea is that … ambiguity in a contract arises from contractual clauses that are interpreted by the parties in different ways. The cost of … ambiguity is represented in terms of dispute costs. Taking the potential for dispute into account, we find that risk averse …

We define and discuss Savage games, which are ordinal games of incomplete information set in L. J. Savage's framework of purely subjective uncertainty. Every Bayesian game is ordinally equivalent to a Savage game. However, Savage games are free of priors, probabilities and payoffs. Players'...
