From the Editors: Group Decisions, Preference Elicitation, Experienced Utility, Survival Probabilities, and Portfolio Value of Information

This “From the Editors” column is co-authored by Editor-in-Chief Rakesh K. Sarin and former Editor-in-Chief L. Robin Keller. Our first article, by Ralph L. Keeney, presents “Foundations for Group Decision Analysis.” The second article is “Toward an Improved Methodology to Construct and Reconcile Decision Analytic Preference Judgments” by Richard M. Anderson and Robert Clemen. Next, Manel Baucells and Rakesh K. Sarin discuss “Determinants of Experienced Utility: Laws and Implications.” The fourth paper, “Estimating Second Order Probability Beliefs from Subjective Survival Data,” is by Peter Hudomiet and Robert J. Willis. The final paper, by Kun Zan and J. Eric Bickel, is on “Components of Portfolio Value of Information.”
