''A Strict Stochastic Utility Theorem''
( 2015, Vol. 35 No.4 )
 
 
This note strengthens the sufficiency part of Blavatskyy's (2008) {em Stochastic Utility Theorem} and corrects an error in the necessity part. To do so, we introduce the distinction between a {em stochastic utility representation} and a {em strict stochastic utility representation} for binary choice probabilities.
