Probability and Uncertainty in Economic Modeling
... their theory is therefore restricted to situations of risk, rather than uncertainty. Their theory does not tell us where probabilities might emerge from if they are not given, and their framework does not support expected utility maximization if uncertainty is not quantified. Savage’s (1954) main co ...

... Transitivity Axiom: For every triple x, y, z ∈ X, if x < y and y < z then x < z. An agent has complete preferences if she can compare any two objects. An agent has transitive preferences if her preferences are internally consistent. Let’s consider some examples. First, suppose that, given any two ca ...

An increase in turnout therefore has an ambiguous effect on expected plurality, and numerical calculations are necessary to determine the sign and magnitude of the effect. For simulation purposes let there be 2,000 jurisdictions, each with 150,000 eligib ...
