Incentives in Group Decision-Making With Uncertainty and Subjective Beliefs

We address the problem of decision-making in group settings where there is uncertainty and disagreement about the utility that actions will yield. Each individual brings his own private information and subjective beliefs, and a decision-maker aims to arrive at a choice that sensibly aggregates all relevant information to maximize expected social welfare. Agents and the decision-maker revise bel...

Decision-Making in the Context of Imprecise Probabilistic Beliefs

Coherent imprecise probabilistic beliefs are modelled as incomplete comparative likelihood relations admitting a multiple-prior representation. Under a structural assumption of Equidivisibility, we provide an axiomatization of such relations and show uniqueness of the representation. In the second part of the paper, we formulate a behaviorally general axiom relating preferences and probabilisti...

In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...
