Duality in Non-Additive Expected Utility Theory

Author

Listed:
  • Gilboa, Itzhak

Abstract

Some duality problems in expected utility theory, raised by the introduction of non—additive probabilities, are examined. Characterization of the probability measures, for which these problems do not arise, leads to an argument in favor of addivity.
