This paper conducts a laboratory experiment to assess the optimal portfolio allocation under quantile preferences (QP) and compare the model's predictions with those of the expected utility theory using a mean-variance (MV) utility function. We estimate the risk aversion coefficients associated...

This paper introduces new core and Walrasian equilibrium notions for an asymmetric information economy with non-expected utility preferences. We prove existence and incentive compatibility results for the new notions we introduce.

This note shows that the Generalized Expected Discounted Utility (GEDU) model is not dynamically consistent and does not allow for a complete separation of the parameters characterizing risk aversion and the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS). Therefore, the model is not convenient...
