The General Theory of Random Choices in Relation to the Invariant Cardinal Utility Function and the Specific Probability Function. The (U, θ) Model A General Overview

Allais’ general theory of random choices is essentially based on the consideration of the invariant cardinal utility function and the whole distribution of cardinal utilities, and on the general preference for security in the neighbourhood of certainty when large sums are at stake.
