Utility Bounce-Back (UBB) Hypothesis: The Power Of Expectation
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014Would you rather be told of a raise or a reduction in your level of satisfaction? The obvious answer for a rational utility maximizing consumer is a raise. That is why the Utility Bounce Back (UBB) Hypothesis is proposes that your utility will bounce back if a reduction is made via the lowest point to the mid-level than if it is directly lowered to the

The expected utility hypothesis is somewhat controversial.' Not only has it met difficulty in experimental studies,2 but its theoretical status and traditional defense have been questioned [6; 3]. In particular, the argument that non-linear preferences allow an individual to make book against himself has been refined in Green [3].

RELAXING THE EXPECTED UTILITY HYPOTHESIS AND ENTRY/EXIT DECISIONS OF THE RISK-AVERSE FIRM
1990A risk-aversion theory is formulated directly from a preference relation, rather than with a utility function representation. An example concerning insurance demand provides intuitive support. This theory is applied to analyze firms' entry/exit decisions, the long run equilibrium of an industry and comparisons between firms with different risk ...

Abstract It is shown that with only two observations on the asset demand functions of an investor, it is not possible to refute the hypothesis of expected utility maximization on the part of the investor as long as the axioms of revealed preference are satisfied.

A decision problem exists when the possible consequences of a decision are important and the best choice is not obvious (Anderson, Dillon, Hardaker). Moreover, when the consequences of each choice are described in probabilistic terms, the decision problem is said to exist under uncertainty.

Regret and disappointment theory (R and D-theory) are discussed as alternatives to the expected utility hypothesis (EUH). The discussion is relative to a choice between two actions, where the consequences from each action are influenced from respectively two different sets of states of the world.
