Intertemporal Choice And Dynamics Of Risk Aversion
This paper provides a theoretical explanation for the heteroscedasticity of asset returns. In line with existing empirical results, our model yields an asymmetric relationship between stock return and volatility. Based on the simple assumptions that investors behave according to Prospect Theory and are subject to mental accounting in a dynamic setting, we analytically derive the unit-root versi...
متن کاملRisk Aversion, Intertemporal Elasticity of Substitution and Correlation Aversion
Intertemporal correlation aversion is an intuitive concept indicating whether an individual prefers lotteries concerning consumption at different moments in time to be positively or negatively correlated. I show that the difference between the coefficient of relative risk aversion and the inverse of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution is related, in a simple way, to the index of intert...
متن کاملIntertemporal Risk Aversion, Stationarity and Discounting
The paper develops an axiomatic framework that derives a new relation between discounting and uncertainty evaluation. The von Neumann and Morgenstern axioms give rise to a richer form of risk attitude than captured in the discounted expected utility standard model. I derive three models that permit a more comprehensive uncertainty evaluation. These preference representations differ in the consi...
متن کاملHIV/AIDS, Risk Aversion and Intertemporal Choice
This study analyses the relation between perceived health status and intertemporal choice. We use data from experiments with real monetary rewards conducted among students in South Africa to estimate risk and time preferences. These experimental data, based on multiple price lists developed by Coller & Williams (1999), Holt & Laury (2002), and Harrison et al. (2002, 2005a), show that HIV+ agent...
متن کاملIntertemporal Risk Aversion, Stationarity and the Rate of Discount
Two central concerns in the sustainability debate are the weight given to the needs of future generations and the application of the precautionary principle. In an economic model, these aspects of intertemporal evaluation can be mapped into time preference and intertemporal risk aversion. The current analysis points out a close link between these different aspects of intertemporal evaluation fr...
