Subjective expected utility and psychological gambles

No 524, Working Papers from University of Milano-Bicocca, Department of Economics

Abstract: We obtain an elementary characterization of expected utility based on a representation of choice in terms of psychological gambles, which requires no assumption other than coherence between ex-ante and ex-post preferences. Weaker version of coherence are associated with various attitudes towards complexity and lead to a characterization of minimax or Choquet expected utility.
