Subjective expected utility with state-dependent but action/observation-independent preferences

Abstract
Under state-dependent preferences, probabilities and units of scale of statedependent utilities are not separately identified, in standard models: only their products matter to decisions. Separate identification has been studied under implicit actions (Drèze 1987) or under explicit actions and observations (Karni 2011). This paper complements both approaches and relates them.
