Kimball [1990] developps a theory of prudence isomorphic to Pratt [1964] and Arrow [1965] theory of risk aversion …. Nevertheless, if the Arrow-Pratt risk aversion index determines behavior in risk, it is not always the case for prudence. Moreover … prudence attitude strongly depends on risk aversion. …

We consider a financial market consisting of a nonrisky asset and a risky one. We study the minimal initial capital needed in order to super-replicate a given contingent claim under the Gamma constraint, i.e. a constraint on the unbounded variation part of the hedging porfolio. In the general...

This paper explores the consequences of non-additive expected utility on risk-sharing and equilibrium in a general … equilibrium set-up. We establish that convexity of an agent's preferences (or strong uncertainty aversion) is equivalent to the … convexity of his capacity and concavity of his utility index. We also characterize a weaker form of uncertainty aversion. …
