Classical subjective expected utility. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013
We consider decision makers who know that payoff-relevant observations are generated by a process that belongs to a given class M , as postulated in Wald [Wald A (1950) Statistical Decision Functions (Wiley, New York)]. We incorporate this Waldean piece

Subjective expected utility without preferences [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Psychology, 2011
This paper deals with the problem of representation of decision making by expected utilities. It discusses the relation between trade off consistency and the identification of attractive sets in terms of a linear combination of utilities.

Expected utility for probabilistic prospects and the common ratio property [PDF]

open access: yesYugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2023
We prove the existence of an expected utility function for preferences over probabilistic prospects satisfying Strict Monotonicity, Indifference, the Common Ratio Property, Substitution and Reducibility of Extreme Prospects.

How do defendants choose their trial court? Evidence for a heuristic processing account [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2013
In jurisdictions with two or more tiers of criminal courts, some defendants can choose the type of trial court to be tried in. This may involve a trade-off between the probability of acquittal/conviction and the estimated severity of sentence if ...

Socio-Economic Sciences: Beyond Quantum Math-like Formalisms

open access: yesQuantum Reports, 2021
Since the beginning of the 21st century, a new interdisciplinary research movement has started, which aims at developing quantum math-like (or simply quantum-like) models to provide an explanation for a variety of socio-economic processes and human ...

Clarifying the role of an unavailable distractor in human multiattribute choice

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Decisions between two economic goods can be swayed by a third unavailable ‘decoy’ alternative, which does not compete for choice, notoriously violating the principles of rational choice theory.

Subjective recursive expected utility [PDF]

open access: yesEconomic Theory, 2004
We axiomatize a subjective version of the recursive expected utility model. This development extends the seminal results of Kreps and Porteus (1978) to a subjective framework and provides foundations that are easy to relate to axioms familiar from timeless models of decision making under uncertainty.

Measuring Belief and Risk Attitude [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
Ramsey (1926) sketches a proposal for measuring the subjective probabilities of an agent by their observable preferences, assuming that the agent is an expected utility maximizer.

Input-dependent noise can explain magnitude-sensitivity in optimal value-based decision-making [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2021
Recent work has derived the optimal policy for two-alternative value-based decisions, in which decision-makers compare the subjective expected reward of two alternatives. Under specific task assumptions --- such as linear utility, linear cost of time and
