Representation of strongly independent preorders by vector-valued functions

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: We show that without assuming completeness or continuity, a strongly independent preorder on a possibly infinite dimensional convex set can always be given a vector-valued representation that naturally generalizes the standard expected utility representation. More precisely, it can be represented by a mixture-preserving function to a product of lexicographic function spaces.
