520 |a "Escaping from Bad Decisions: A Behavioral Decision-Theoretic Perspective presents a modern conceptual and mathematical framework of the decision-making process. This framework explains how decision-making under certainty, risk, and uncertainty can be better understood and theoretically explained, and provides a critical examination of psychological models in multi-attribute decision-making. It evaluates and defines the constitutive elements of "good decisions" and "bad decisions." By defining ordinal utility theory relating to multi-attribute decision-making, this book re-interprets the rationality of multi-attribute decision-making based on Arrow's general possibility theorem"--  |c Provided by publisher.
