Objective Rationality and Uncertainty Averse Preferences

Author

  • Simone Cerreia-Vioglio

Abstract

We provide a bridge between Bewley preferences [2] and Uncertainty averse preferences [4]. In doing this, we generalize the ?ndings of Gilboa, Maccheroni, Marinacci, and Schmeidler [11]. To exemplify this new framework, we then study a class of preferences that we call Constrained Multiplier preferences and that was ?rst proposed by Wang [19].
