Disappointment Cycles ∗
We propose a model of history dependent disappointment aversion (HDDA), allowing the attitude of a decision-maker (DM) towards disappointment at each stage of a T -stage lottery to evolve as a function of his history of disappointments and elations in prior stages.

متن کاملA Theory of Disappointment
We develop an axiomatic model of decision making under risk based on the concept of disappointment aversion. Disappointment is measured using the expected utility of the lottery as a reference point. From an axiomatics, which is supported by many studies on psychology and emotions research, we derive a general class of model that is lottery dependent and which can be viewed as the theoretical g...
