Models of Tradeoffs in a Hierarchical Structure of Objectives
讨论利用目标层级结构的非加性模型，以考察现有模型无法包含的权衡问题，这些模型可通过类似其他规范性偏好模型的程序应用。
Multiattribute utility models and cost-benefit models often arrange the objectives into a hierarchical structure in order to identify appropriate subobjectives and to select appropriate attributes to measure the subobjectives. This paper discusses nonadditive models that use the hierarchical structure in order to examine issues of tradeoffs that models in present use are not able to include. The models are sufficiently structured so that they can be applied by procedures that are similar to those available for other prescriptive models of preferences.
