Research Abstract |
Current work is, first, on axiomatizations of preferences among riskless and risky alternatives. The work is both theoretical (axiomatic) and empirical. Unlike the classical models, non-linearities play an important role and account for a number of the empirical anomalies. Second, a number of papers, published and unpublished, are devoted to issues having to do with subjective intensity, such as loudness and brightness. | |
