Resolving the Two Envelopes Problem - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The Two Envelopes Problem is a beautiful and quite confusing problem in decision theory which is ca. 20 years old and has provoked at least 30 papers directly addressing the problem and displaying a surprising variety of different responses. This paper finds decisive progress in an approach of G. Priest and G. Restall in 2003, argues that the recent papers having appeared since did not really go beyond that paper, argues further that Priest's and Restall's solution is still not complete, proposes a completion of their solution, and finally hints at more general lessons for decision theory. If the analysis is correct, this work has the potential of laying the Two Envelopes Problem at rest.
