Author

  • Fishburn, Peter C

Abstract

This paper discusses historical episodes, trends from the past half century, and projections for the next century in decision theory. In the future, computers will play a much greater role; experimental research on decision behavior will flourish; better models for vagueness, ambiguity, and time effects will emerge; a robust holistic theory that combines descriptive and normative influences will be developed; and nontraditional voting systems and methods of proportional representation will be widely adopted.
