ABSTRACT When ambiguity-averse investors process news of uncertain quality, they act as if they take a worst-case assessment of quality As a result, they react more strongly to bad news than to good news They also dislike assets for which information quality is poor, especially when the underlying fundamentals are volatile These effects induce ambiguity premia that depend on idiosyncratic

To model preferences (as opposed to merely beliefs), we use recursive multiple-priors utility, axiomatized in Epstein and Schneider [12] The axioms describe behavior that is consistent with experimental evidence typified by the Ellsberg Paradox They imply that an ambiguity averse agent behaves as if he maximizes, every period, expected utility under a worst-case belief that is chosen from a
