Ever Since Allais (with Aluma Dembo, Shachar Kariv, and John K.-H. Quah), 2021. Reports an experiment that nonparametrically tests the entire set of axioms on which expected utility theory (EUT) is based, and finds that within-subjects departures from independence are small relative to departures from ordering (completeness and transitivity) and/or monotonicity with respect to first-order stochastic dominance (FOSD). Working Paper: Bristol. [Revise and Resubmit, Journal of Political Economy]
