Variational Preferences<br />

◮ A rich paradigm for decision-making under ambiguity is the theory <strong>of</strong><br />

variational preferences (Maccheroni, Marinacci <strong>and</strong> Rustichini, 2006).<br />

◮ An economic agent evaluates the pay<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> a choice alternative (financial<br />

position) X according to<br />

U(X) = inf<br />

Q∈Q {EQ [u(X)] + α(Q)},<br />

where u : R → R is an increasing function, Q is a set <strong>of</strong> probability<br />

measures <strong>and</strong> α is an ambiguity index defined on Q.<br />
