Decision Theory has considerably developed in the late 1970's and
the 1980's. The evolution has been so fast and far-r2aching that it
has become increasingly difficult to keep track of the new state of
the art. After a decade of new contributions, there was a need for
an overview' of the field. This book is intended to fill the gap.
The reader will find here thirty~nine selected papers which were
given at FUR-III, the third international confe rence on the
Foundations and applications of Utility, Risk and decision
theories, held in Aix-en-Provence in June 1986. An introductory
chapter will provide an overview of the main questions raised on
the subject since the 17th Century and more particularly so in the
last thirty years, as well as some elementary information on the
experimental and theoretical results obtained. It is thus hoped
that any reader with some basic background in either Economics,
Hanagement or Operations Research will be able to read profitably
the thirty-nine other chapters. Psychologists, Sociologists, Social
Philosophers and other specialists of the social sciences will also
read this book with interest, as will high-level practitioners of
decision~making and advanced students in one of the abovementioned
fields. An expository survey of this volume will be found at the
end of the introductory chapter, so that any of the seven parts of
the book can be put by the reader in due perspective.
