Costly Contemplation∗

We study preferences over opportunity sets. Such preferences are monotone if every opportunity set is at least as good as its subsets. We prove a representation theorem for monotone preferences. The representation suggests that the decision maker optimally contemplates his mood before making his ultimate choice from his opportunity set. We show that our model reduces to that of Kreps (1979) whe...

Neurosurgery – Contemplation of the Future

When I was a medical student 42 years ago my neurological textbooks were replete with diagrams of the motor, sensory, visual, and speech areas of the cerebral cortex. It occurred to me then that perhaps the viscera might also have cortical representation and therefore why not try to find out if this were so? Sad to say I was dissuaded from investigative attempts on the grounds that time in medi...

A Unique Costly Contemplation Representation∗

We extend the costly contemplation model to preferences over sets of lotteries, assuming that the state-dependent utilities are von Neumann-Morgenstern. The contemplation costs are uniquely pinned down in a reduced form representation, where the decision-maker selects a subjective measure over expected utility functions instead of a subjective signal over a subjective state space. We show that ...
