Measuring Ambiguity Aversion
Loss Set A Set A Set A Set A Investment Set B Set B Set B Set B Insurance Set B Set B Set B Set B Furthermore, the subjects face four different types of information in both decision frames and treatments. The ‘precise’ information frame has exact probabilities and exact payments stated. In the ‘ambiguity in probability’ frames, the probability is stated as a range and the payment is fixed. Conv...
متن کاملA Simplied Axiomatic Approach to Ambiguity Aversion
This paper takes the Anscombe-Aumann framework with horse and roulette lotteries, and applies the Savage axioms to the horse lotteries and the von Neumann-Morgenstern independence axiom to the roulette lotteries. The resulting representation of preferences yields a subjective probability measure over states and two utility functions, one governing risk attitudes and one governing ambiguity atti...
متن کاملAmbiguity Aversion in Game Theory: Experimental Evidence
This paper studies games with ambiguity averse agents, focusing on the relationship between preferences, beliefs over opponent’s preferences, and behaviour in normal form games. Using a carefully chosen 3×2 normal form game we find that a subject’s risk and ambiguity preferences affect the subject’s behaviour in normal form games in the direction suggested by economic theories. In contrast, we ...
متن کاملAmbiguity and Ambiguity Aversion
Consider the following choice problem, known as “Ellsberg’s three-color urn example”, or simply the “Ellsberg Paradox” (Ellsberg [7]). An urn contains 30 red balls, and 60 green and blue balls, in unspecified proportions; subjects are asked to compare (i) a bet on a red draw vs. a bet on a green draw, and (ii) a bet on a red or blue draw vs. a bet on a green or blue draw. If the subject wins a ...
متن کاملDecreasing aversion under ambiguity
Under which condition does the set of desirable uncertain prospects expand when wealth increases? We show that the decreasing concavity (DC) of the utility function is necessary and sufficient in the −maxmin expected utility model. In the smooth ambiguity aversion model with the ambiguity valuation function , the DC of and of ◦ is necessary and sufficient. An alternative definition of d...
