Preferred term

rank-dependent utility theory  

Definition(s)

  • Originally called anticipated utility theory, rank-dependent utility theory is a generalized expected utility model. It was first developed by John Quiggin in 1982 as a solution for violations of stochastic dominance (where one outcome is always ranked above another), which expected utility theories were not able to resolve.
