We consider an optimal insurance design problem for an individual whose preferences are dictated by the rank-dependent expected utility (RDEU) theory with a concave utility function and an inverse-S shaped probability distortion function. This type of RDEU is known to describe human behavior...

Experimental studies show that people's risk preferences depend non-linearly on probabilities, but relatively little is known about how probability weighting influences investment decisions. In this paper we analyze the portfolio choice problem of investors who maximize rank-dependent utility in...

We study a dynamic portfolio selection problem in which an agent trades a stock and a risk-free asset with the objective of maximizing the rank-dependent utility of her wealth at the terminal time of the investment horizon. Due to time inconsistency, we consider three types of agents,...
