Using Choquet integral in economics

This paper is devoted to application of the Choquet integral with respect to the monotone set functions in economics. We present the application in decision making, finance, insurance, social welfare and quality of life. The Choquet integral is used as the numerical representation of preference relation in decision making, as the “expected value” of future price in financial decision problems, as the insurance premium and as the social evaluation function.
