Choice under uncertainty with the best and worst in mind: Neo-additive capacities

[PDF] from upi-yptk.ac.id
Full text - MIT Libraries
A Chateauneuf, J Eichberger… - Journal of Economic Theory, 2007 - Elsevier
We develop the simplest generalization of subjective expected utility that can accommodate
both optimistic and pessimistic attitudes towards uncertainty—Choquet expected utility with
non-extreme-outcome-additive (neo-additive) capacities. A neo-additive capacity can be ...
