Delighted to share that my paper “Psychological narratives in decision theory: what they are and what they are good for” has been published in the Journal of Economic Methodology:

I’ve just completed a revision of a paper titled “Psychological narratives in decision theory: what they are and what they are good for.”

I believe it makes a contribution to the recent literature on the epistemic role of narratives in science, particularly in economics.

Very glad to visit @dipecounive.bsky.social from 17/3 to 11/4
& many thanks to my colleagues there for the invitation!

This time, I’ll be leading a reading group with Ph.D. students in Economics on some classics in decision theory, including Simon 1955, Ellsberg 1961, and Kahneman & Tversky 1979.

I’m very glad that Nicola (@ngiocoli.bsky.social) generally liked my book on the The History and Methodology of Expected Utility (Cambridge UP) and I agree with him that Savage’s motivations should have been clarified better.

Read Nicola's review in the EJHET:

In collaboration with Luca Congiu (University of Rome Tor Vergata), we are conducting an experimental study to test whether presenting probabilities pictorially reduces the prevalence of choice patterns in line with the Allais paradox.
