In the framework of expected utility theory, risk attitudes are entirely captured by the curvature of the utility … function. In cumulative prospect theory (CPT) risk attitudes have an additional dimension: the weighting of probabilities. With … towards risk, what is the relation between them? We ran a controlled laboratory experiment to answer this question. Our …

Economics and management science share the tradition of ordering risk aversion by fitting the best expected utility (EU … sole index of risk attitude. (Cumulative) Prospect theory (CPT) has demonstrated various empirical deficiencies of EU and … introduced the weighting of probabilities as an additional component to capture risk attitude. However, if utility curvature and …

Despite extensive studies, the nature of risk attitudes remains a vigorously discussed question in economics and … psychology. In expected utility theory, attitudes towards risk originate from changes in marginal utility. Cumulative prospect …

The paper relates cumulative prospect theory to the moments of returns distributions, e.g. skewness and kurtosis, assuming returns are normal inverse Gaussian distributed. The normal inverse Gaussian distribution parametrizes the first- to forth-order moments, making the investigation...

When valuing risky prospects, people typically overweight small probabilities and underweight medium and large probabilities, but there is vast heterogeneity in individual behavior. We explore the relationship between person-specific probability weights, estimated from investment decisions in a...

This paper studies the Cass-Koopmans-Ramsey model of optimal economic growth in the presence of loss aversion and habit formation. The representative agent's preferences for consumption can be gradually varied between the standard constant intertemporal elasticity of substitution (CIES) case and...
