Abstract
I study the implications of Wald's (1947) complete class theorem for decision making under Knightian uncertainty (or ambiguity). Suppose we call someone who uses Wald's approach to statistical decision making a Waldian. A Waldian may then have preferences over acts that are not in agreement with subjective expected utility but always chooses as if she was a subjective expected utility maximizer. In particular, even Wald's (1945) minmax decision rule is consistent with subjective expected utility.
