Multiattribute Utility and Derived Utility
1987An individual’s fundamental utility is a function of many variables or attributes. Even in a single time period, it is a function of consumption of many goods, purchased at given prices and, it is to be hoped, optimally within a budget constraint. Even if single-period consumption is reduced to a single spending variable, trade-offs are required across

In this paper, we propose an definition of cooperation to shared plans that takes into account the benefit of the whole group, where the group’s benefit is computed by considering also the consequences of an agent’s choice in terms of the actions that the other members of the group will do.

A decision maker is frequently confronted with fuzzy constraints, fuzzy utility maximization, and fuzziness about the state of competitors. In this paper we present a framework for fuzzy decision-making, using techniques from fuzzy logic, game theory, and micro-economics. In the first part, we study the rationality of fuzzy choice.

Interferon induction and utilization
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1968AbstractThe interferon mechanism offers the hope for moderate to high level prophylactic immunity of broad antiviral spectrum but of relatively short duration. Economic and biological considerations offer little hope for utilization of exogenous interferon as a prophylactic or therapeutic substance, unless but a small part of the total molecule be ...

Perception, Utility and Evolution
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016This paper presents a model of the evolution of the hedonic utility function in which perception is imperfect. Netzer (2009) considers a model with perfect perception and finds that the optimal utility function allocates marginal utility where decisions are made frequently.

Medicare and Utilization Review
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966The emerging concept of utilization review has one compelling justification—it is the way in which doctors, working together and accountable to each other, can assure that each patient in medical need will have fair access to and an optimum use of scarce and expensive facilities.

Expected Utility and Continuity
The Review of Economic Studies, 1972The theory of expected utility derives conditions in which an ordering > of a set P of probability distributions, all defined on some measurable space (X, 1), can be represented by the numerical order of the expected values J udP of some " utility " function u on X.

I do not think than anyone familiar with what has been published in the last ten years, in England and the United States, on the philosophy of government can doubt that this subject, which is the meeting point of moral, political and legal philosophy, is undergoing a major change.

Expected utility theory is widely acknowledged to be a rational approach to making decisions involving risk. Yet the methodology gives no explicit role to measures of risk and return. In this paper we identify those families of utility functions that are compatible with a risk-return interpretation.
