Recent Advancements in the Theory of Choice under Knightian Uncertainty and Their Applications in Economics

Knightian uncertainty differs from risk in that it describes situations where randomness of an uncertain event faced by a decision maker cannot be adequately described by a probability measure. This paper reviews the recent advancements in the theory of choice under Knightian uncertainty and their applications in economics and finance.
