It is often said that prudence and temperance play key roles in aversion to negative skewness and kurtosis … preferences in terms of statistical moments. An implication is, for example, that prudence implies preference for distributions … kurtosis as defined by all even moments. We thus speak of the kurtosis robustness feature of prudence. Further, we show that …

In this study we measure higher-order risk preferences and their consistency. We explore the role of country differences, the variation of stakes, and the framing of lotteries. We observe a robust dichotomous pattern of choice behavior in China, in the USA and in Germany. A large majority of...

In this study I analyze how lottery framing and lottery display type affect the degree of higher-order risk preferences. I explore differences by comparing reduced and compound lottery framing, and by comparing lotteries in an urn-style and in a spinner-style display format. Overall, my findings...

We propose a method to measure the intensity of risk aversion, prudence (downside risk aversion) and temperance (outer … approach is not based on expected utility theory. In our experiment we find evidence for risk aversion, prudence and temperance … for being (second order) risk-loving.

We study higher-order risk preferences, i.e. prudence and temperance, next to risk aversion in social settings … decision maker.

Consider a simple two-state risk with equal probabilities for the two states. In particular, assume that the random wealth variable Xi dominates Yi via ith-order stochastic dominance for i = M,N. We show that the 50-50 lottery [XN + YM, YN + XM] dominates the lottery [XN + XM, YN + YM] via (N +...
