Beliefs, Interactions, and Preferences in Decision Making

Beliefs, Interactions and Preferences in Decision Making is a collection of papers presented at the Eighth Foundations and Applications of Utility and Risk Theory (FUR VIII) conference in Mons, Belgium. It also includes additional papers from renowned authors in the field. The book explores the recent developments in decision-making and risk theory, with a focus on the modeling of interactions between individuals and their environment, as well as the emergence of beliefs and rationality.

Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in modeling beliefs, particularly in relation to low probability events. The concept of rational decision making has also been expanded to encompass multiple dimensions and situations. This book highlights some of the notable advancements in these areas.

One of the challenges addressed in the book is how to incorporate these various advancements into a single decision model. It also provides insights into the future trends in modeling complex decision-making problems.

The book is divided into three main sections. The first section explores new extensions of the existing theory, which is a common demand among scientists in the field. The second section focuses on the development of interactions between individuals and their environment in a broad sense. The final section examines real-world problems in both financial and non-financial markets and decisions, illustrating how the research presented in the book can contribute to addressing these issues.

In summary, Beliefs, Interactions and Preferences in Decision Making examines the recent developments and challenges in decision-making and risk theory. It offers valuable insights into modeling beliefs and rationality, as well as integrating these advancements into decision models. The book is organized into three sections, each addressing different aspects of decision making. It also considers the application of these theories to real-world problems.
