Chapter 2 in Decision Theory and Decision Behaviour, 1998, pp 26-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In situations represented as decisions under certainty, the actor chooses among a set of alternatives in one-to-one correspondence with a set of outcomes. If the actor knows which of the outcomes he most prefers, clearly the rational choice is of the alternative associated with the most preferred outcome.
