Independence Properties Vis-à-vis Several Utility Representations
نویسنده
چکیده
A detailed theoretical analysis is presented of what five utility representations — subjective expected utility (SEU), rank-dependent (cumulative or Choquet) utility (RDU), gains decomposition utility (GDU), rank weighted utility (RWU), and a configural-weight model (TAX) that we show to be equivalent to RWU — say about a series of independence properties, many of which were suggested by M.H.Birnbaum and his coauthors. The goal is to clarify what implications to draw about the descriptive aspects of the representations from data concerning these properties. The upshot is a sharp rejection of SEU and RDU and no clear choice between GDU and TAX, but a list of 8 properties is given that should receive more attention to discriminate between the latter two models.

Le but de ce problème est de montrer que si l’on peut donner un type “suffisamment polymorphe” à une fonction, alors on peut deviner à partir du type quel est le comportement de la fonction. Par exemple, si ∅ ` a : α → α, alors a est forcément la fonction identité. De tels résultats s’appellent des propriétés de paramétricités, ou encore des “théorèmes gratuits” comme les appelle Ph. Wadler (19...
