Comparing descriptive and theoretical models of decision-making under uncertainty and their relation to socioeconomic factors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
This study examines the selection and validation of measurement models for decision-making under uncertainty, with particular emphasis on the integration of socioeconomic contexts in these models. We critically compared four distinct models, differing in

Randomization and Ambiguity Aversion [PDF]

open access: yesEconometrica, 2020
We propose a model of preferences in which the effect of randomization on ambiguity depends on how the unknown probability law is determined. We adopt the framework of Anscombe and Aumann (1963) and relax the axioms. In the resulting representation of the individual's preference, the individual has a collection of sets of priors

Are Policymakers Ambiguity Averse?* [PDF]

open access: yesThe Economic Journal, 2019
Abstract We investigate the ambiguity preferences of a unique sample of real-life policymakers at the Paris UN climate conference (COP21). We find that policymakers are generally ambiguity averse. Using a simple design, we are moreover able to show that these preferences are not necessarily due to an irrational behavior, but rather to ...

Ambiguity Aversion and Underdiversification [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 2013
We examine asset allocation decisions under smooth ambiguity aversion when an investor has a prior degree of belief in the domestic capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Different from a Bayesian approach, the investor separately relies on the conditional distribution of returns and on the posterior over parameters to make decisions, rather than on the ...
