Abstract
The authors have conducted an exhaustive literature survey of the experimental studies on Expected-utility Theory (EUT) in order to account for the violations of its axiomatic foundations. Beyond identifying and classifying the (behavioral) bias phenomena according to the axiom(s)-violated, the possible background conditionals for such violations are reported in this paper.
Keywords: EU Theory, EU axioms, Behavioral biases, Preference reversal
