The paper reconstructs the landmark 1952 Paris conference on risk and examines why Allais’s paradox and Arrow’s approach to state-contingent consumption, both presented there, remained “sleeping beauties” for decades before gaining prominence in the late 1970s.

3/3: I’d also like to share that we had a great experience with the revision process at the JBEE. The editors handled the paper quickly, and the anonymous reviewers provided prompt, insightful, and genuinely helpful reports. Just 140 days from first submission to acceptance. Highly recommended.

Ivan Moscati @ivan-moscati.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

2/3: We investigate whether the Allais paradox, one of the most fundamental anomalies of expected utility theory, is mitigated by the visual representation of probabilities. It is not. We then discuss some normative implications of this finding.

The paper relates to Julian Reiss’s “explanation paradox,” which consists of three widely accepted yet mutually inconsistent claims: (1) economic models are false; (2) they are nevertheless explanatory; (3) only true accounts can explain. I suggest resolving the paradox by rejecting claim (3).

Ivan Moscati @ivan-moscati.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

In discussing psychological narratives in decision theory, this paper contributes to the recent methodological and historical literature, developed by Mary Morgan and other scholars, that explores the epistemic functions of narratives in scientific research broadly, and economics in particular.

Ivan Moscati @ivan-moscati.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

Third, it explores the epistemic functions of psychological narratives, contending that, despite their fictional nature, they provide explanations for choice-behavior phenomena. Recognizing this latter function requires abandoning the assumption that truth is a necessary condition for explanation.

Ivan Moscati @ivan-moscati.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

First, it reviews the psychological narratives associated with some influential models developed to supersede expected utility theory. Second, it examines the epistemological status of these narratives, arguing that they draw from folk psychology and are best understood as as-if constructs.

Ivan Moscati @ivan-moscati.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

Models in the economic theory of decision making under uncertainty are often accompanied by “psychological narratives”, i.e., accounts of the psychological factors and processes that determine individuals’ choices in uncertain situations. This paper makes three main contributions.
