Abstract

We show that the monotone continuity condition introduced by Arrow (1970) is the behavioral counterpart of countable additivity and weak compactness of the set of priors in a maxmin expected utility model. This generalizes Arrow's original result, who considered the special case of a singleton set of priors. Several other convenient technical properties of the set of priors, like non-atomicity, are studied and their behavioral counterparts are provided.
