Probabilistic Sophistication And Reverse Bayesianism

Edi Karni and Marie-Louise Vierø

No 1303, Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper extends our earlier work on reverse Bayesianism by relaxing theassumption that decision makers abide by expected utility theory, assuming instead weaker axioms that merely imply that they are probabilistically sophisticated. We show that our main results, namely, (modified)representation theorems and corresponding rules for updating beliefs over expanding state spaces and null events that constitute "reverse Bayesianism," remain valid.
