A simple two-period model is considered which is not only risky but also ambiguous. The probabilities of the second-period final wealth consist of a set of probabilities, depending on a parameter \(\theta\) for which the agent has prior beliefs. The concept of ambiguity prudence is introduced. The conditions for ambiguity prudence are considered, basically those related to ambiguity aversion.
