Revealed Ambiguity and Its Consequences: Updating
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the updating of beliefs under ambiguity for invariant biseparable preferences. In particular, we show that a natural form of dynamic consistency characterizes the Bayesian updating of these beliefs. JEL classification: D81

Learning Under Compound Risk vs . Learning Under Ambiguity - An Experiment . 1
We design and conduct an economic experiment to investigate the learning process of the agents under compound risk and under ambiguity. We gather data for subjects choosing between lotteries involving risky and ambiguous urns. Decisions are made in conjunction with a sequence of random draws with replacement, allowing us to estimate the beliefs of the agents at different moments in time. For ea...
متن کاملDivision of the Humanities and Social Sciences California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125 Modeling the Change of Paradigm: Non-bayesian Reactions to Unexpected News
Despite its normative appeal and widespread use, Bayes’ rule has two well-known limitations: first, it does not predict how agents should react to an information to which they assigned probability zero; second, a sizable empirical evidence documents how agents systematically deviate from its prescriptions by overreacting to information to which they assigned a positive but small probability. By...

متن کاملLoad Balancing Using a Best-Path-Updating Information-Guided Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: Load balancing and phase balancing are important complement to reconfiguration of the feeder and the network.In the distribution automation ,these issues must be solved continuously and simultaneously to ensure the optimal performance of a distribution network.Distribution network imbalance has various consequences such as increase in power losses, voltage drop,cost increase,etc.In th...
متن کاملDynamic Choice under Ambiguity
This paper analyzes sophisticated dynamic choice for ambiguity-sensitive decision makers. It characterizes Backward Induction and a single-person version of Subgame Perfection via axioms on preferences over decision trees. Furthermore, it indicates how to elicit conditional preferences from prior preferences. The key axiom is a weakening of Dynamic Consistency, deemed Sophistication. The analys...
