Axiomatic Theories of Choice, Cardinal Utility and Subjective Probability: a review

Jacques Dreze

Chapter 1 in Allocation under Uncertainty: Equilibrium and Optimality, 1974, pp 3-23 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most of the papers collected in this volume rely, explicitly or implicitly, upon (i) a formal description of uncertainty situations in terms of the concepts of events, acts and consequences; and (ii) an axiomatic theory of individual choices, which justifies the representation of preferences among acts by their expected utility.
