Decision-making under risk: Editing procedures based on correlated similarities, and preference overdetermination

Review of Economic Design, 1999, vol. 4, issue 1, 12 pages

Abstract: This paper studies editing procedures based on similarity relations in an expected utility maximization context. It shows that these procedures are compatible both with a family of difference-correlated similarities on the prize space and with a set of families (one for each probability) of ratio-correlated similarity relations on the probability space. In view of the properties satisfied by these families of correlated similarities, it is suggested that Rubinstein's preference overdetermination problem can be avoided.
