摘要:
Savage [L. Savage, ''The Foundations of Statistics,'' Wiley, New York, 1954] showed how properties of a decision maker's probabilistic beliefs can be deduced from primitive consistency axioms on preferences. This paper extends that approach and shows how logical properties of belief-which underlie economists' models of information and knowledge-can be related to properties of preferences.
