Abstract

A non-traditional approach on the measurement of agents behaviour is presented. This contribution focus on measuring stability of agents’ preferences on an intertemporal context under the assumption of considering uncertainty opinions. To this aim, the concept of behaviour stability measure is defined as well as a particular one, the sequential behaviour stability measure. Finally and in order to highlight the good behaviour of novel measure, some properties are also provided.
