We study the asset allocation of an investor with prospect theory (PT) preferences. First, we solveanalytically the two-asset problem of the PT investor for one risk-free and one risky asset and find thatloss aversion and the reference return affect differently less ambitious and more ambitious...

Growing experimental evidence suggests that loss aversion plays an important role in asset allocation decisions. We study the asset allocation of a linear loss-averse (LA) investor and compare the optimal LA portfolio to the more traditional optimal mean-variance (MV) and conditional...

This study extends the literature on portfolio choice under prospect theory preferences by introducing a two-period life cycle model, where the household decides on optimal consumption and investment in a portfolio with one risk-free and one risky asset. The optimal solution depends primarily on...
