Journal Article
Lehrer, E., & Samet, D. (2024). Interpersonal independence of knowledge and belief. Synthese, 204, Article 21. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11229-024-04607-x

We show that knowledge satisfies interpersonal independence, meaning that a non-trivial sentence describing one agent’s knowledge cannot be equivalent to a sentence describing another agent’s knowledge. The same property of interpersonal independence... Read More about Interpersonal independence of knowledge and belief.

Weighted Utility and Optimism/Pessimism: A Decision-Theoretic Foundation of Various Stochastic Dominance Orders (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, T., & Lehrer, E. (2024). Weighted Utility and Optimism/Pessimism: A Decision-Theoretic Foundation of Various Stochastic Dominance Orders. American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 16(1), 210-223. https://doi.org/10.1257/mic.20220350

We show that a probability distribution likelihood-ratio dominates another distribution if and only if, for every weighted utility function, the former is preferred over the latter. Likewise, a probability distribution hazard-rate (or reverse hazard... Read More about Weighted Utility and Optimism/Pessimism: A Decision-Theoretic Foundation of Various Stochastic Dominance Orders.
