Is Sophisticated Choice Really Different from Time-Consistent Choice? On the Structural Equivalence with Exponential Discounting

Coming soon.

Uniqueness of Recursive Utility with Unbounded Consumption and Non-Expected Utility

We establish conditions for existence, uniqueness, and global attractivity of recursive utility with unbounded consumption and non-expected utility, with applications to macro-finance.

Event Valence and Subjective Probability

Introduces signed subjective expected utility (SSEU), where willingness-to-bet reflects both subjective likelihood and event valence, and applies it to hedging aversion, the conjunction fallacy, insurance and gambling, dominated choices, and home equity bias.

Strategic Ambiguity, Moral Hazard, and the Optimal Deterrence Strategy

We provide a game-theoretic explanation of strategic ambiguity—deliberately creating uncertainty in Beijing and Taipei about whether the United States would intervene in a war—using the decision-theoretic notion of ambiguity.

Arbitrage Pricing in Convex, Cash-Additive Markets

We characterize several convex pricing rules under the assumption of cash additivity.

Absolute and Relative Ambiguity Attitudes

We provide representation theorems for preferences under basic assumptions on ambiguity attitudes without Schmeidler's notion of ambiguity, i.e. convexity of preferences.

A Nonlinear Sandwich Theorem

We develop a nonlinear sandwich theorem and applications to mathematical finance.
