Itzhak Gilboa (Hebrew: ÃÂæÃÂç ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ; born February 3, 1963, in Tel Aviv) is an Israeli economist with contributions in decision theory. After obtaining his BA in Mathematics and Economics from Tel Aviv University, he earned his Ph.D. in 1987 under the supervision of David Schmeidler. He currently holds professorship positions at HEC Paris and Reichman University.
His work include the theory of Maxmin Expected Utility with David Schmeidler. This theory explains individual attitudes towards ambiguity that are consistent with the Ellsberg paradox.
