Macroeconomic Uncertainty, Difference in Beliefs, and Bond Risk Premia
2010
Social Science Research Network
Finally, we control for an array of alternative predictor variables and show that the information contained in the belief structure of the economy is different from either consensus views or fundamentals ...
First, consistent with a general equilibrium model, heterogeneity in beliefs affect the price of risk so that belief dispersion regarding the real economy, inflation, short and long term interest rates ...
He derives conditions under which recursive preferences admit equilibria in which both agents survive in the long run. ...

Decision Making in a Context where Uncertainty is Represented by Belief Functions
[chapter]
2002
Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing
A quantified model to represent uncertainty is incomplete if its use in a decision environment is not explained. ...
When uncertainty is represented by belief functions, the choice of the appropriate probability function must be explained and justified. ...
We have presented some of the procedures developed for the 'rational' decision making in the TBM context and in the ULP context. ...

Belief elicitation in the presence of naïve respondents: An experimental study
2011
Journal of Risk and Uncertainty
Our findings hold substantial practical value to anyone interested in eliciting beliefs from representative populations, a goal of increasing importance, for example, when conducting large-scale surveys ...
We show that, theoretically and empirically, when there is a sufficient fraction of naïve participants, the clock mechanism elicits beliefs more accurately than the declarative mechanism. ...
This condition is weaker than the requirement that preferences satisfy expected utility. ...

Heterogeneous Beliefs, Regret, and Uncertainty: The Role of Speculation in Energy Price Dynamics
2013
Social Science Research Network
To this aim, we propose a new theoretical and empirical framework based on a heterogeneous agents model in which fundamentalists and chartists co-exist and are subject to regret and uncertainty. ...

The distortion of beliefs in the face of uncertainty
2007
International Journal of Management and Decision Making
Uncertainty is one such state, in which one encounters difficult problems and expects little success. ...
Judgements and beliefs often are distorted. They are affected by underlying values and reflect strong tendencies toward wishful thinking. ...
I am grateful to professor Robyn Dawes and Dr. Patric Andersson for their comments on the manuscript. ...

Dealing with belief uncertainty in domain models
2022
ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology
In this paper, we are interested in representing and processing uncertain information in domain models, considering the stakeholders' beliefs (opinions). ...
We show how to associate beliefs to model elements, and how to propagate and operate with their associated uncertainty so that domain experts can individually reason about their models enriched with their ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to thank the reviewers of the paper for their insightful comments and very valuable suggestions, which have signiicantly helped us to improve it. ...

Preference Modeling and Preference Elicitation: An Overview
2014
International Workshop on Decision Making and Recommender Systems
Handling preferences [16] is important in a number of domains, including recommender systems, computational advertisement, personal cognitive assistants, systems for decision support (for example, in medicine ...
In order to get closer to the goal of realizing autonomous agents that can decide and act on behalf of humans, formal tools are needed in order to model preferences, represent preferences in a compact ...

Most models of rational action assume that all possible states and actions are pre-defined and that preferences change only when beliefs do. ...

State-Dependent Preferences
[chapter]

Definition: A preference relation < on F is state dependent if < s 6 =< s 0 for some nonnull s and s 0 in S. ...
Given a preference relation < on F ; a state s; and f, f 0 , g, g 0 in F , define a preference relation on F conditional on s, < s , by f < s f 0 if g < g 0 whenever f (s) = g (s) , f 0 (s) = g 0 (s) and ...
Preferences among acts are a matter of personal judgement, presumably combining the decision maker's valuation of the consequences and his beliefs regarding the likely realization of alternative events ...

Liquidity Preference and Information
2010
Social Science Research Network
This note explores the link between anticipated information and a preference for liquidity in investment choices. ...
Given a subjective ordering of investment portfolios by their liquidity, we identify a sufficient condition under which the prospect of finer resolution of uncertainty creates a preference for more liquid ...
It is often suggested that the great uncertainty that accompanies economic crises reinforces a preference for liquidity. ...

Preference Based Subjective Beliefs
2018
Games
This approach— by analogy with Psychological Game Theory—allows for interdependence between preferences and beliefs but reverses the order of causality. ...
We use existing evidence from a multi-stage experiment in which we first elicit distributional preferences in a Random Dictator Game, then estimate beliefs in a related 2×2 effort game conditional on these ...
Acknowledgments: This paper builds upon a long-term research project on social preferences and strategic uncertainty carried out in Alicante within the last 10 years, namely, the "CABRA project". ...
