Abstract:
The Axiom of Monotonicity (AM) is a necessary condition for a number of
expected utility representations, including those obtained by de Finetti
(1930), von Neumann and Morgenstern (1944) and Savage (1954). The paper
reports on experiments that directly test AM by eliminating strategic
uncertainty, context, and peer effects. In this sterile and simple
environment we do not observe AM violations under uncertainty but we do
observe violations under ambiguity.
