Optimal investment under operational flexibility, risk aversion, and uncertainty
Traditional real options analysis addresses the problem of investment under uncertainty assuming a risk-neutral decision maker and complete markets. In reality, however, decision makers are often risk averse and markets are incomplete. We confirm that risk aversion lowers the probability of investment and demonstrate how this effect can be mitigated by incorporating operational flexibility in t...
متن کاملSocial disappointment explains chimpanzees' behaviour in the inequity aversion task.
Chimpanzees' refusal of less-preferred food when an experimenter has previously provided preferred food to a conspecific has been taken as evidence for a sense of fairness. Here, we present a novel hypothesis-the social disappointment hypothesis-according to which food refusals express chimpanzees' disappointment in the human experimenter for not rewarding them as well as they could have. We te...

This paper examines optimal international portfolio choice when equity market linkages increase during periods of distress and investors are averse to disappointing outcomes. I propose a model that captures the joint effect of these two phenomena and show that it leads to a first-order effect on the optimal portfolios. Even during correlated downturns, international diversification is still hig...
متن کاملEliciting Gul’s theory of disappointment aversion by the tradeoff method
Gul’s theory of disappointment aversion (DA) has several attractive features, being intuitive, analytically tractable, and parsimonious. In spite of this, the DA model has received little attention in practical applications, which may be partly due to the absence of a procedure to elicit the model. We show how the tradeoff method, developed by Wakker and Deneffe can be used to elicit DA. Our el...
متن کاملGrowth Uncertainty, Generalized Disappointment Aversion and Production-based Asset Pricing

We show that volatility risk in productivity growth carries a positive and sizable risk premium in levered equity. Our model can endogenously generate long-run risks in the volatility of consumption...
