According to subjective expected utility theory the goal of human action is to seek pleasure and avoid pain. In making decisions people will seek to maximize pleasure (positive utility) and to minimize pain ( negative utility). To do so,we calculat...

16.3Inadequacy of utility theory for explaining the framing effect The most representative decision-making theory is theutility theorythat tries to explain all decision-making phenomena using the concept of utility. The idea of the utility theory goes back to D. Bernoulli in the 18th century. Many...
Expected utility theory deals with choosing among acts where the decision-maker does not know for sure which consequence will result from a chosen act. When faced with several acts, the decision-maker will choose the one with the highest ‘expected...
Utility theory (UT) [64], [65] as a typical decision-making method in finances has not been investigated for aerodynamic optimization area. This work introduced the UT method for the first time to formulate the objective function of the optimum aerodynamic shape design under uncertainty. In ...

With the help of a case study, the first part of the article will attempt to point out that if an agent bases his reasoning on the verbal and purely qualitative concepts of the classical utilitarian theory, he will find himself confronting 'undecidable' dilemmas, for which making a specific ...
This lesson will explain expected utility theory, which is used as a tool for making decisions under conditions of uncertainty and marginal utility, which quantifies the satisfaction obtained from consuming additional units of a product or service. Making Decisions Fred is a farmer who is deciding...
