Anticipatory feelings may generate ambiguity averse preferences

We consider the impact of anticipatory feelings on behavior. We focus on a very simple type of anticipatory feelings: we assume that anticipatory feelings are based on future expected utility. Although this modeling may not reflect the complexity of anticipatory emotions, it has an interesting consequence: We show that when there are diminishing returns in anticipatory feelings and additive sep...

Incomplete Information Games with Ambiguity Averse Players∗

We study incomplete information games of perfect recall involving players who perceive ambiguity and may be ambiguity averse. Our focus is on equilibrium concepts satisfying sequential optimality —each player’s strategy must be optimal at each stage given the strategies of the other players and the player’s conditional beliefs. We show that, for the purpose of identifying strategy profiles that...

Range convexity and ambiguity averse preferences

We show that range convexity of beliefs, a ‘technical’ condition that appears naturally in axiomatizations of preferences in a Savage-like framework, imposes some unexpected restrictions when modelling ambiguity averse preferences. That is, when it is added to a mild condition, range convexity makes the preferences collapse to subjective expected utility as soon as they satisfy structural condi...

Trembles in Extensive Games with Ambiguity Averse Players∗

We introduce and analyze three definitions of equilibrium for finite extensive games with imperfect information and ambiguity averse players. In a setting where players’ preferences are represented by maxmin expected utility, as characterized in Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989), our definitions capture the intuition that players may consider the possibility of slight arbitrary mistakes. This genera...

Auction choice for ambiguity-averse sellers facing strategic uncertainty

The robustness of the Bayes–Nash equilibrium prediction for seller revenue in auctions is investigated. In a framework of interdependent valuations generated from independent signals, seller expected revenue may fall well below the equilibrium prediction, even though the individual payoff consequences of suboptimal bidding may be small for each individual bidder. This possibility would be relev...
