Artigo Científico On the confidence preferences model(2012) Chateauneuf, Alain; JOSÉ HELENO FAROIn this paper we study the model of decision under uncertainty consistent with confidence preferences. In that model, a decision maker held beliefs represented by a fuzzy set of priors and tastes captured by a standard affine utility index on consequences. First, we find some interesting properties concerning the well-known maxmin expected utility model, taking into account the point of view of the confidence preferences model. Further, we provide new examples of preferences that capture ambiguity-averse attitudes weaker than ambiguity attitudes featured by maxmin expected utility theory. Finally, we discuss the axiomatic foundations for the confidence preferences model with optimistic behavior.Artigo Científico Ambiguity through confidence functions(2009) Chateauneuf, Alain; JOSÉ HELENO FAROWe characterize preference relations over bounded below Anscombe and Aumann’s acts and give necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a utility function u on consequences, a confidence function ϕ on the set of all probabilities over states of nature, and a positive threshold level of confidence ˛0 such that our preference relation has a functional representation J, where given an act f J(f) = min p ∈ L˛0 ϕ 1 ϕ(p) S u(f) dp. The level set L˛0ϕ := {p : ϕ(p) ≥ ˛0} reflects the priors held by the decision maker and the valueϕ(p) captures the relevance of prior p for his decision. The combination ofϕ and˛0 may describe the decision maker’s subjective assessment of available information. An important feature of our representation is the characterization of the maximal confidence function which allows us to obtain results on comparative ambiguity aversion and on special cases, namely the subjective expected utility, the Choquet expected utility with convex capacity, and the maxmin expected utilit
