Pessimistic outcome expectancy does not explain ambiguity aversion in decision-making under uncertainty

Martin Alois Rohrmeier

When faced with a decision, most people like to know the odds and prefer to avoid ambiguity. It has been suggested that this aversion to ambiguity is linked to people's assumption of worst possible outcomes. We used two closely linked behavioural tasks in ...

The Decision Rule Approach to Optimisation under Uncertainty: Methodology and Applications

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

Dynamic decision-making under uncertainty has a long and distinguished history in operations research. Due to the curse of dimensionality, solution schemes that naively partition or discretize the support of the random problem parameters are limited to sma ...

Skilled Indians in Switzerland: Mobility paths and transnational connections

Gabriela Tejada Guerrero

As India has developed into one of the countries of origin with the largest number of skilled personnel and international students, it has been increasingly considered as a priority country in public higher-education and labour-market strategies. Its growi ...

Influence of façade details on early design decisions regarding daylight performance of neighborhoods

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

Neighborhood form and building facade design are key drivers of indoor daylight performance. Architectural design at the neighborhood scale starts with massing scheme proposals and other design specifications including façade design are typically enriched ...

Decision Rule Bounds for Two-Stage Stochastic Bilevel Programs

Daniel Kuhn

We study stochastic bilevel programs where the leader chooses a binary here-and-now decision and the follower responds with a continuous wait-and-see-decision. Using modern decision rule approximations, we construct lower bounds on an optimistic version an ...

Belief as a Wise Wager

Leyla Loued-Khenissi

From the moment we wake up in the morning to the day's ebb when we settle in to sleep, we are bound to the task of decision-making. Some of these decisions barely register in our consciousness, if at all, while others, less shy, take a more prominent place ...

Minimizing Regret in Unconstrained Online Convex Optimization

Maryam Kamgarpour

We consider online convex optimizations in the bandit setting. The decision maker does not know the time- varying cost functions, or their gradients. At each time step, she observes the value of the cost function for her chosen action. The objective is to ...

Multicriteria Decisions in Urban Energy System Planning: A Review

François Maréchal, Sébastien Cajot

Urban energy system planning (UESP) is a topic of growing concern for cities in deregulated energy markets, which plan to decrease energy demand, reduce their dependency on fossil fuels, and increase the share of renewable energy sources. UESP being a high ...

A two-stage model of decision making

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

The drift diffusion model (Ratcliff, 1978) is widely used to model binary decision-making. In this model, evidence for the two alternatives is integrated over time until it hits a decision boundary leading to a reaction. The drift diffusion model fits many ...
