Reservoir management with risk aversion
We consider the problem faced by a manager planning the operation of a mixed hydro/thermal system, where the manager controls the reservoir release made in each week (single reservoir), as well as the generation from other sources. Demand is deterministic and must be met in each period, while the inflows experienced in each week are uncertain. Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) is a technique...
متن کاملMeasures of downside risk
The paper characterizes a family of downside risk measures. They depend on a target value and a parameter reflecting the attitude towards downside risk. The indicators are probability weighted −order means of possible shortfalls. They form a subclass of the measures intro¬duced by Stone (1973) and are related to the measures proposed by Fishburn (1977). The axiomatization is based on some prope...

Traditionally, downside risk aversion is the study of the placement of a pure risk (a secondary risk) on either the upside or the downside of a primary two-state risk. When the decision maker prefers to have the secondary risk placed on the upside rather than the downside of the primary lottery, he is said to display downside risk aversion. The literature on the intensity of downside risk avers...
متن کاملGreater downside risk aversion in the large
In this paper, we advance a definition of greater downside risk aversion that applies to both large and small changes in risk preference, and thereby complements the results for small changes reported previously. We show that a downside riskaverse transformation of a utility function results in a function that is more downside risk averse in the same manner that a risk-averse transformation inc...
متن کاملDownside financial risk is misunderstood
The mathematics of downside financial risk can be difficult to understand: For example a 50% loss requires a subsequent 100% gain to break-even. A given percentage loss always requires a greater percentage gain to break-even. Instead, many non-expert investors may assume for example that a 50% gain is sufficient to offset a 50% loss. Over 3,498 participants and five experiments, the widespread ...
