在客观翻译中迷失：当未知并非简单的未知时的无意识意识
Lost in objective translation: awareness of unawareness when unknowns are not simply unknowns
摘要
This paper models decision makers who are cognisant of their own potential unawareness and who may have an a priori sense that not all unknowns are equal. Different types of surprises may be anticipated in different situations, and this matters for choices. The paper proposes a model that accommodates such a priori differences in anticipation. It allows for subjectively different unknowns and provides a representation of preferences that has an expected utility structure, but where the attitudes towards differently perceived unknowns are allowed to differ.
中文摘要
本文构建了一个决策者模型，这些决策者意识到自身可能存在无意识，并且可能先验地感到并非所有未知都同等重要。不同类型的意外可能在不同情境中被预期，而这对选择具有重要影响。本文提出了一个能够容纳这种先验预期差异的模型。该模型允许主观上不同的未知存在，并提供了一种具有期望效用结构的偏好表示，但其中对以不同方式感知到的未知所持的态度可以有所不同。
