Abstract: In our first article, Samuel D. Bond, Kurt A. Carlson, and Ralph L. Keeney address the important stage of decision problem formulation in “Improving the Generation of Decision Objectives.” Next, Charles M. Harvey and Lars Peter Østerdal develop “Cardinal Scales for Health Evaluation.” We then move to consideration of risk taking and risk perception. In our third article, Alen Nosić and Martin Weber report their experimental study on “How Riskily Do I Invest? The Role of Risk Attitudes, Risk Perceptions, and Overconfidence.” In the next article, Michel Denuit and Louis Eeckhoudt provide results on “Bivariate Stochastic Dominance and Substitute Risk-(In)dependent Utilities.” In our final article, Bjørn Sandvik and Lars Thorlund-Petersen derive results on “Sensitivity Analysis of Risk Tolerance.” At the end of this article are some recent journal accomplishments, including the coverage in the Social Sciences Citation Index.
