The purpose of this study was to determine whether attitudes toward risk and altruism are affected by being in a group or being alone. In contrast to previous economic research on group decision-making, we excluded the effects of group informal discussions, which are thought to be a "black box"...

This paper aims to develop optional semimartingale methods in risk theory to allow for a larger class of risk models. Optional semimartingales are left-continuous with right-limit stochastic processes defined on a probability space where the usual conditions - completeness and right-continuity...

By examining the significant flaws in multivariate risk analysis and integrated risk analysis, this article introduces a new approach to evaluating the total risk within complex risk systems: the principle of multi-dimensional risk (MDR) analysis. Under this framework, the scope of each...

Luckman et al. (2018) experimentally tested the conjecture that a single model of risky intertemporal choice can account for both risky and intertemporal choices, and under the conditions of their experiment, found evidence supporting it. Given the existing literature, that is a remarkable...

Promoting household-level adaptation measures is an important part of climate change adaptation policies to reduce vulnerability to droughts for (agro-)pastoral communities in sub-Saharan Africa. To develop effective supportive policies, it is important to get a better understanding of the needs...

The gambler's ruin is usually presented as a repeated game where the gambler can either win or lose one unit. We examine cases where the profits from winning gambles are multiple times the stake at risk, with the expected profit per gamble being either zero, positive or negative. For positive...

Risk is a pervasive factor in agriculture and a subject of great interest to agricultural economists. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the knowledge held by farm advisors, students, and economists with regards to farmers' risk preferences. Misconceptions about farmers'...

The strict rational paradigm of neoclassical economic theory has resulted in limited exploration of emotions in managerial decision-making processes. This study attempts to address this gap by examining how emotions influence efficient managerial decision-making, generating a modern perspective...

Purpose - The study attempts to investigate the relationship between emotional biases (loss aversion bias, overconfidence bias, and regret aversion bias) and investment decisions through a meta-analysis approach. Design/methodology/approach - A meta-correlation analysis was done using sample...

Narrow bracketing in combination with loss aversion has been shown to reduce individual risk-taking. This is known as myopic loss aversion (MLA) and has been corroborated by many studies. Recent evidence has contested this notion indicating that MLA's applicability is confined to highly...

The deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into enterprises presents both opportunities and challenges, making it a focal point of current research. This study explores the impact of AI on corporate risk-taking, using data spanning 2010-2019 from A-share listed companies in China. Our...
