History of consumer demand theory 1871-1971: A Neo-Kantian rational reconstruction
TL;DR: The authors examines the history of the neoclassical theory of consumer demand from 1871 to 1971 by bringing into play the knowledge theory of the Marburg School, a Neo-Kantian philosophical movement.
A Class of Multi-Prior Preferences
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors axiomatize a new class of multi-prior preferences for decision-making under uncertainty, which takes the form of minimization, over a set of priors, of an expected utility plus a penalty function that penalizes deviation from the reference probability measure.

State Dependent Expected Utility for Savage's State Space
Peter P. Wakker,Horst Zank +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize the Debreu/Gorman characterization of additively decomposable functionals and separable preferences to infinite dimensions and provide a state-dependent extension of Savage's expected utility.

On the extension of additive utilities to infinite sets
TL;DR: In this article, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an additive utility on a finite subset X of a Cartesian product is derived, interpreted as both an independence and Archimedean condition.

Additive differences and simple preference comparisons
TL;DR: In this article, two axiomatizations of the multi-attribute additive difference representation of preferences are presented, one using topological assumptions to obtain a continuous representation; the other using a more general algebraic structure.
