Abstract

This paper presents axioms which imply that a preference relation over lotteries can be represented by a measure of the area above the distribution function of each lottery. A special case of this family is the anticipated utility functional. One additional axiom implies this theory. This functional is then extended for the case of vectorial prizes.
