Ambiguity made precise: A comparative foundation

P Ghirardato, M Marinacci - Journal of Economic Theory, 2002 - Elsevier
The theory of subjective expected utility has been recently extended to allow ambiguity to
matter for choice. We propose a notion of absolute ambiguity aversion by building on a …

Risk, ambiguity, and the separation of utility and beliefs

P Ghirardato, M Marinacci - Mathematics of operations …, 2001 - pubsonline.informs.org
We introduce a general model of static choice under uncertainty, arguably the weakest
model achieving a separation of cardinal utility and a unique representation of beliefs. Most …

Optimal auctions with ambiguity

S Bose, E Ozdenoren, A Pape - Theoretical Economics, 2006 - econstor.eu
A crucial assumption in the optimal auction literature is that each bidder's valuation is known
to be drawn from a unique distribution. In this paper we study the optimal auction problem …

Auctions with uncertain numbers of bidders

D Levin, E Ozdenoren - Journal of Economic Theory, 2004 - Elsevier
We investigate bidders' and seller's responses to ambiguity about the number of bidders in
the first price auction (FPA) and the second price auction (SPA) with independent private …

Sealed bid auctions with ambiguity: Theory and experiments

Y Chen, P Katuščák, E Ozdenoren - Journal of Economic Theory, 2007 - Elsevier
This study presents a laboratory experiment of the first and second price sealed bid auctions
with independent private values, where the distribution of bidder valuations may be …

Ambiguous beliefs and mechanism design

AL Bodoh-Creed - Games and Economic Behavior, 2012 - Elsevier
This paper develops a payoff equivalence theorem for mechanisms with ambiguity averse
participants with preferences of the Maxmin Expected Utility (MEU) form (Gilboa and …

Distributionally robust mechanism design

Ç Koçyiğit, G Iyengar, D Kuhn… - Management …, 2020 - pubsonline.informs.org
We study a mechanism design problem in which an indivisible good is auctioned to multiple
bidders for each of whom it has a private value that is unknown to the seller and the other …

A dynamic mechanism and surplus extraction under ambiguity

S Bose, A Daripa - Journal of Economic theory, 2009 - Elsevier
We study the question of auction design in an IPV setting characterized by ambiguity. We
assume that the preferences of agents exhibit ambiguity aversion; in particular, they are …

Attitudes to ambiguity in one-shot normal-form games: An experimental study

A Ivanov - Games and Economic Behavior, 2011 - Elsevier
Based on an experiment in the lab, we classify behavior in one-shot normal-form games
along three important dimensions. The first dimension, which is of main interest, is about …

Incomplete information games with multiple priors

A Kajii, T Ui - The Japanese Economic Review, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We present a model of incomplete information games, where each player is endowed with a
set of priors. Upon arrival of private information, it is assumed that each player “updates” his …
