Abstract Quiggin (1982) introduced anticipated ("rank-dependent") utility theory into decision making under risk. Questions have been raised about mathematical aspects in Quiggin's analysis. This paper settles these questions and shows that a minor modification of Quiggin's axioms leads to a useful and correct result, with features not found in other recent axiomatizations.
