Multiattribute Utility Theory and Environmental Decisions
Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1980The evaluative framework describes systems in terms of environmental attributes, components, and measureable parameters. Indicators of pollution levels called numeraires, are constructed to represent one or more parameters. Utility functions, reflective of the desirability of pollution levels, are developed for each numeraire.

CHOQUET INTEGRAL MODELS AND INDEPENDENCE CONCEPTS IN MULTIATTRIBUTE UTILITY THEORY
International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 2000This paper discusses multiattribute preference relations compatible with a value/utility function represented by the Choquet integral with respect to a fuzzy measure, and shows that the additivity of the fuzzy measure is equivalent to each of mutual preferential independence, mutual weak difference independence, mutual difference independence, mutual ...

Multiattribute Utility Theory as a Basic Approach
1985A decision problem can often be formulated as a problem where a set A of potential actions (possible solutions, feasible decisions) is considered among which one must: either choose a single action considered as ‘the best’, or select a subset of actions considered as ‘good’, or order the actions from the best to the worst.

An Empirical Comparison Between Expectancy Theory and Multiattribute Utility Theory.
Academy of Management Proceedings, 1983This is the first comparison between multiattribute utility (MAU) theory and expectancy theory. Several conceptual reasons are listed in favor of MAU, and MAU is empirically found to be the better ...

At the end of the Cold War, the United States and Russia entered into agreements to reduce the numbers of nuclear weapons in their arsenals. The excess-weapons plutonium recovered from dismantled weapons is extremely toxic in the environment, and the National Academy of Sciences has characterized the possibility that it could fall into the hands of ...

This paper presents a multicriteria decision model to support decision maker choices regarding alternatives of building power transmission lines. The decision model aggregates different objectives through an additive utility function taking into account the appropriate independence utility conditions of multiattribute utility theory.

Use of multiattribute utility theory for personal decision making
International Journal of Systems Science, 1987Almost all of the issues that decision makers face in actuality involve multiple objectives that conflict in some measure with each other. In such issues, decisions that serve some objectives well will generally satisfy other objectives less well than alternative decisions.
