摘要:
Quiggin (J. Econ. Behav. Organization 3 (1982), 323-345) introduced anticipated (''rank-dependent'') utility theory into decision making under risk. Questions have been raised about mathematical aspects of Quiggin's analysis. This paper settles these questions and shows that a minor modification of Quiggin's axioms leads to a useful and correct result, with features not found in other recent axiomatizations.
