… both risk and ambiguity and, in economics, these conditions are referred to as risk aversion and ambiguity aversion respectively. People hate ambiguity more than risk 40 years after Frank Knight purposed the concepts of risk and ambiguity, Daniel Ellsberg published a seminal paper showing that people respond to risk and ambiguity differently [3] . To illustrate Ellsberg’s argument, let us do a thought experiment. Imagine a box containing 90 balls, 30 of which are orange and the other 60 of which are either black or blue. The exact numbers of black and blue balls are unknown. If you were to pick a colour and draw … black and blue already makes 60, meaning there must be more blue (black) than orange balls. This means that it is more rational to pick blue (black) instead of orange. However, this is not the most chosen option in reality – hence the famous label “Ellsberg’s paradox”. People prefer orange to blue and black simply because they know the probability of obtaining one is 1/3 whereas the probabilities for black and blue balls are unknown. All this is to say that we generally prefer risk to ambiguity. …
