The α-MEU model: A comment

In Ghirardato et al. (2004) [7], Ghirardato, Macheroni and Marinacci propose a method for distinguishing between perceived ambiguity and the decision-makerʼs reaction to it. They study a general class of preferences which they refer to as invariant biseparable. This class includes CEU and MEU. They...

Description
Summary:In Ghirardato et al. (2004) [7], Ghirardato, Macheroni and Marinacci propose a method for distinguishing between perceived ambiguity and the decision-makerʼs reaction to it. They study a general class of preferences which they refer to as invariant biseparable. This class includes CEU and MEU. They axiomatize a subclass of α-MEU preferences. If attention is restricted to finite state spaces, we show that any α-MEU preference relation, satisfies GMMʼs axioms if and only if α=0 or 1, that is, the preferences must be either maxmin or maxmax. We show by example that these axioms may be satisfied when the state space is [0,1].
