The objective of this paper is to show how ambiguity, and a decision maker (DM)'s response to it, can be modelled formally in the context of a very general decision model. In the first part of the paper we introduce an "unambiguous preference" relation derived from the DM's preferences, and show that it can be represented by a set of probability measures. We provide such set with a simple differential interpretation and argue that it represents the DM's perception of the "ambiguity" present in the decision problem. Given the notion of ambiguity, we show that preferences can be represented so as to provide an intuitive representation of ambiguity attitudes. In the second

"... Existential and constructive solutions to the classic problems of fair division are known for individuals with constant marginal evaluations. By considering nonatomic concave capacities instead of nonatomic probability measures, we extend some of these results to the case of individuals with decreas ..."

Existential and constructive solutions to the classic problems of fair division are known for individuals with constant marginal evaluations. By considering nonatomic concave capacities instead of nonatomic probability measures, we extend some of these results to the case of individuals with decreasing marginal evaluations.
APPLIED MATHEMATICS WORKING PAPER SERIESInsurance Premia Consistent with the Market ∗
, 2002
"... We consider insurance prices in presence of an incomplete and competitive market. We show that if the insurance price system is internal, sublinear, and consistent with the market, then insurance prices are the maxima of their expected payments with respect to a family of risk neutral probabilities. ..."

We consider insurance prices in presence of an incomplete and competitive market. We show that if the insurance price system is internal, sublinear, and consistent with the market, then insurance prices are the maxima of their expected payments with respect to a family of risk neutral probabilities. We also show that under a simple additional assumption it is possible to decompose the obtained price in net premium plus safety loading. ∗An earlier version of this paper- titled “Coherent insurance prices ”- was presented at
