In particular,  authors have modeled more and more as interactions between the  individual and the environment or between different individuals the  emergence of beliefs as well as the specific type of information  treatment traditionally called `rationality'. This book analyzes  several cases of such an interaction and derives consequences for the  future of decision theory and risk theory. \u003cbr\u003e  In the last ten years, modeling beliefs has become a specific  sub-field of decision making, particularly with respect to low  probability events. Rational decision making has also been generalized  in order to encompass, in new ways and in more general situations than  it used to be fitted to, multiple dimensions in consequences. This  book deals with some of the most conspicuous of these advances. \u003cbr\u003e  It also addresses the difficult question to incorporate several of  these recent advances simultaneously into one single decision model.  And it offers perspectives about the future trends of modeling such  complex decision questions.\u003cbr\u003e  The volume is organized in three main blocks: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e  The first block is the more `traditional' one. It deals with new  extensions of the existing theory, as is always demanded by scientists  in the field. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e A second block handles specific elements in the  development of interactions between individuals and their environment,  as defined in the most general sense. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e The last block confronts  real-world problems in both financial and non-financial markets and  decisions, and tries to show what kind of contributions can be brought  to them by the type of research reported on here.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792385998\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-4592-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 378\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265482281100,"sku":"9780792385998","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792385998.jpg?v=1770779935","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792385998","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
