The consistency of welfare judgements with a representative consumer
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1986This paper is about economies with a representative consumer. In general a representative consumer need not exist, although there are several well known sets of sufficient conditions under which Qne will. It is common ... -
The consistency of welfare judgments with a representative consumer
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1988It is common practice to use the representative consumer hypothesis without specifically assuming any of the sufficient conditions under which one will exist. We show, first, that it is possible for the utility of the ... -
The ex-Ante non-optimality of the Dempster-Schafer updating rule for ambiguous beliefs
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1992-02The most widely used updating rule for non-additive probalities is the Dempster-Schafer rule. Schmeidles and Gilboa have developed a model of decision making under uncertainty based on non-additive probabilities, and in ... -
Excess volatility of stock prices and knightian uncertainty
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1991 -
Homothetic preferences
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1991-04This paper describes properties of upper semi-continuous homothetic preferences. First we give conditions for the existence of an upper semi-continuous representation which is homogeneous of degree one. Then we show that ... -
Knightian rational expectations, inflationary inertia and money neutrality
Dow, James

Laws of large numbers for non-additive probabilities
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1993-12We apply the concept of exchangeable random variables to the case of non-additive robability distributions exhibiting ncertainty aversion, and in the lass generated bya convex core convex non-additive probabilities, ith a ... -
Nash equilibrium under knightian uncertainty: breaking down backward induction (extensively revised version)
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1993-04We define Nash equilibrium for two-person normal form games in the presence of uncertainty, in the sense of Knight(1921). We use the fonna1iution of uncertainty due to Schmeidler and Gilboa. We show tbat there exist Nash ... -
Nash equilibrium under knightian uncertainty: breaking-down backward induction
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1992-02We present two alternative definitions of Nash equilibrium for two person games in the presence af uncertainty, in the sense of Knight. We use the formalization of uncertainty due to Schmeidler and Gilboa. We show that, ... -
Preferences, common knowledge and speculative trade
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa; Madrigal, Vicente
1990-01We study the proposition that if it is common knowledge that en allocation of assets is ex-ante pareto efficient, there is no further trade generated by new information. The key to this result is that the information ... -
Uncertainty aversion and the optmal choice of portfolio
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1988In this paper we apply the theory of declsion making with expected utility and non-additive priors to the choice of optimal portfolio. This theory describes the behavior of a rational agent who i5 averse to pure 'uncertainty' ... -
Uncertainty aversion, risk aversion, and the optimal choice of portfolio
Dow, James; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
1992
