Decision Making under Uncertainty and Subjective Probabilities
This paper presents two axiomatic models of decision making under uncertainty that avoid the use of a state space. The first is a subjective expected utility model with action-dependent subjective probabilities and effect-dependent preferences (the case of effect-independent preferences is obtained as a special instance). The second is a nonexpected utility model involving well-defined families...
متن کاملWhat do uncertainty-averse decision-makers believe?
This paper introduces the concept of firm belief, which is proposed as a new epistemic model for a wide class of preferences. In particular, firm beliefs are shown to have the following desirable properties: (i) they are derived from preferences according to a plausible rule of epistemic inference; (ii) they satisfy standard logical properties; and (iii) tractable representations of firm belief...
متن کاملNon-Archimedean Subjective Probabilities in Decision Theory and Games
To allow conditioning on counterfactual events, zero probabilities can be replaced by infinitesimal probabilities that range over a non-Archimedean ordered field. This paper considers a suitable minimal field that is a complete metric space. Axioms similar to those in Anscombe and Aumann (1963) and in Blume, Brandenburger and Dekel (1991) are used to characterize preferences which: (i) reveal u...
متن کاملUnanimous subjective probabilities
This note shows that if the space of events is sufficiently rich and the subjective probability function of each individual is non-atomic, then there is a σ -algebra of events over which everyone will have the same probability function, and moreover, the range of this common probability is the entire unit interval.
متن کاملSubjective and Other Probabilities
Historically, the term probability has been associated with a number of different concepts. The standard mathematical definition due to Kolmogorov (1933/1950) identifies probability with a countably additive measure on a σ algebra.1 This definition underlies a powerful theory that includes the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. Yet in the applications of this theory, probabilit...
