Bargaining Solutions without the Expected Utility Hypothesis

Games and Economic Behavior, 1993
It is well-known in game theory that reasonable axioms that describe human preferences lead to the notion of utility (or expected utility) \(u(A)\) such that \(A\) is preferable to \(B\) iff \(u(A)>u(B)\) and the utility of a lottery \(L\) in which a person gets \(A_ 1\) with probability \(p_ 1,\dots,A_ n\) with probability \(p_ n\) is equal to the ...

Weak Experimental Verification of the Expected Utility Hypothesis

The Review of Economic Studies, 1971
The five experiments described in this paper are the modest final product of an initially ambitious attempt to verify a theory of choice under uncertainty. Yaari [5] in 1965 reported the results of some experiments he had performed in which he attempted to show that the acceptance of unfair gambles is better explained by the assumption that gamblers ...

Invariance of the efficient sets when the expected utility hypothesis is relaxed

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 1990
Abstract We consider risk averse decision makers who choose from a given set X of random variables and whose preference ordering need not be transitive or representable by a real utility index. We show that when all nonlinear preference functionals possess the first and the second degree stochastic dominance, the efficient set in X remains unchanged.

Aspects of Regret Theory and Disappointment Theory As Alternatives to the Expected Utility Hypothesis

1991
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.

Is the expected utility maximization hypothesis refutable by finite market data: The case of two observations

open access: closedEconomics Letters, 1980
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.
