Loss aversion, risk aversion, and the probability weighting function (PWF) are three central concepts in explaining … decisionmaking under risk. I examine interlinkages between these concepts in a model of decisionmaking that allows for loss averse … commonly observed shapes of PWF and to risk aversion. In particular, I establish a connection between loss aversion and both …
