Reference-Dependent Risk Attitudes
Kőszegi and Rabin (forthcoming) develop a model building from prospect theory that a) combines the reference-dependent “gain-loss utility” with standard “consumption utility,” b) bases the reference point on beliefs about outcomes rather than on the status quo, and, to incorporate probabilistic beliefs, c) allows for stochastic reference points. In this paper we develop an extension of that mod...
متن کاملReference-Dependent Risk Attitudes
Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s (1979) prospect theory, and the literature building from it, provide theories of risk attitudes based on a few regularities. Most importantly, evaluation of an outcome is influenced by how it compares to a reference point, with people exhibiting both a significantly greater aversion to losses than appreciation of gains, and a diminishing sensitivity to changes...

This paper estimates the degree of risk aversion of contestants appearing on Vas o No Vas, the Mexican version of Deal or No Deal. We consider both dynamic agents who fully backward induct and myopic agents that only look forward one period. Further, we vary the level of forecasting sophistication by the agents. We find substantial evidence of risk aversion, the degree of which is more modest t...

A positive relation of this kind will be written L, a negative one ~L. Thus, pLo means p likes, lo...
متن کاملBayesian decision theory with action-dependent probabilities and risk attitudes
This paper extends the work of Karni (Econ Theory 48:125–146, 2011) to allow for the possibility that decision makers’ effect-dependent risk attitudes are also affected by their actions. This extension is essential for modeling decision situations in which actions have a monetary dimension that creates interaction between actions and wealth.
