متن کاملA Theory of Risk without Expected Utility
This paper challenges the use of expected value concepts including expected return, expected utility, non-expected utility and weighted utility in the study of risk. It proves that all such concepts must lead to the rejection of any gambling or insurance proposal. Consequently, theories applying them become futile. Instead, this paper seeks to explain the risky behaviors by the Central Limit Th...
متن کاملExpected utility theory without the completeness axiom
Universidad de Montevideo and New York University Istituto di Metodi Quantitativi Università Bocconi Department of Economics New York University September, 2001 for a potentially incomplete preference relation over lotteries by means of a set of von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions. It is shown that, when the prize space is a compact metric space, a preference relation admits such a multi-...
متن کاملExpected Subjective Value Theory (ESVT): A Representation of Decision Under Risk and Certainty
We present a descriptive model of choice with normative foundations based on how the brain is thought to represent value. An individual’s behavior is fully described by two primitives: an individual’s expectation and one free parameter we call “predisposition”. The model captures the same apparent preference phenomena illustrated by Prospect Theory but unlike Prospect Theory accounts for indivi...
متن کاملDynamic decision making without expected utility: An operational approach
Non-expected utility theories, such as rank dependent utility (RDU) theory, have been proposed as alternative models to EU theory in decision making under risk. These models do not share the separability property of expected utility theory. This implies that, in a decision tree, if the reduction of compound lotteries assumption is made (so that preferences at each decision node reduce to RDU pr...
