Random Expected Utility [PDF]

open access: possibleEconometrica, 2006
We develop and analyze a model of random choice and random expected utility. A decision problem is a finite set of lotteries that describe the feasible choices. A random choice rule associates with each decision problem a probability measure over choices. A random utility function is a probability measure over von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions.

Expected Utility Hypothesis

1987
The expected utility hypothesis of behaviour towards risk is essentially the hypothesis that the individual decision–maker possesses (or acts as if possessing) a ‘von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function’ U(·) or ‘von Neumann-Morgenstern utility index’ {Ui} defined over some set of outcomes, and when faced with alternative risky prospects or ‘lotteries’

Non-expected Utility Theory

2008
The expected utility/subjective probability model of risk preferences and beliefs has long been the preeminent model of individual choice under conditions of uncertainty. It exhibits a tremendous flexibility in representing aspects of attitudes toward risk, has a well-developed analytical structure, and has been applied to the analysis of gambling ...

Expected Utility and Continuity

The Review of Economic Studies, 1972
The 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.

Moderate Expected Utility

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
The moderate utility model represents the probability of choosing an option in a pairwise comparison as an increasing function of utility difference divided by a dissimilarity metric. We provide a single, directly testable property that characterizes the model: choices are moderately transitive.

Random Discounted Expected Utilit

Review of Economics and Statistics
This paper introduces the random discounted expected utility (RDEU) model, which we have developed as a means to deal with heterogeneous risk and time preferences. The RDEU model provides an explicit linkage between preference and choice heterogeneity.

Expected Utility: Weak and Strong

SSRN Electronic Journal
Summary: In this paper we show that, given a monotone preference order that satisfies weak independence, the expected utility model (as a \textit{weak} or \textit{strong} representation) can be directly obtained from intuitive conditions. In particular, a weak expected utility representation can be constructed by using \textit{substitutability}, while ...
