Abstract

Dans "Le paradoxe d'Allais. Comment lui rendre sa signification perdue?" (Revue économique, 2014/5 - Vol. 64), Philippe Mongin propose une image contestable, parce que abusivement rassurante, de la rationalité des sujets participants aux expériences de MacCrimmon et Larsson [1979]. Nous montrons cela en restituant les données des auteurs pour l'effet de conséquence commune et l'effet de rapport commun (deux paradoxes d'Allais), que Mongin assimile bien qu'il distingue ces deux effets. Deux tendances dans les données nous conduisent à rejoindre Mongin pour conclure que ces expériences sont une source d'inspiration fructueuse pour la théorie de la décision, ce que nous illustrons brièvement par le rôle qu'elles ont joué dans l'apparition de l'utilité espérée dépendante du rang et dans le tournant interindividuel en psychologie cognitive de la décision.
