Abstract

This is a story of research on uncertainty modeling from information measures without probability to Choquet capacities, possibility measures, fuzzy measures, imprecise probabilities, belief functions and finally, quantum probability. The main part of the paper is devoted, almost entirely, to an invitation to quantum probability for behavioral economics.
