This paper quantifies the notion of greed, and explores its connection with leverage and potential losses, in the context of a continuous-time behavioral portfolio choice model under (cumulative) prospect theory. We argue that the reference point can serve as the critical parameter in defining...

We formulate and carry out an analytical treatment of a single-period portfolio choice model featuring a reference point in wealth, S-shaped utility (value) functions with loss aversion, and probability weighting under Kahneman and Tversky's cumulative prospect theory (CPT). We introduce a new...

We study Arrow-Debreu equilibria for a one-period-two-date pure exchange economy with rank-dependent utility agents having heterogeneous probability weighting and outcome utility functions. In particular, we allow the economy to have a mix of expected utility agents and rank-dependent utility...
