Regret Aversion and Dynamic Choice
This research looks into the possibility of bringing together two distinct and empirically successful areas of behavioural economics; regret aversion and quasi-hyperbolic discounting. Standard regret aversion theory (Loomes and Sugden 1982, Bell 1982) operates in a world of uncertainty, where regret aversion arises due to the possibility of, having made an initial choice, a more preferable opti...
متن کاملRegret aversion and opportunity dependence
This paper provides an axiomatic model of decision making under uncertainty in which the decision maker is driven by anticipated ex-post regrets. Our model allows both regret aversion and likelihood judgement over states to coexist. Also, we characterize two special cases, minimax regret with multiple priors that generalizes Savage’s minimax regret, and a smooth model of regret aversion.
متن کاملA Direct Test of Risk Aversion and Regret in First Price Sealed-Bid Auctions
W do bidders tend to bid higher than the risk-neutral Nash equilibrium in sealed-bid first price auction experiments? The effect of risk aversion has long been offered as a possible explanation. More recently, several studies proposed regret as another explanation, citing strong experimental evidence. But which effect is more important? We design an experiment to separate the effects of risk av...
متن کاملInequality aversion and risk aversion
This note shows that for two inequality averse social welfare functions, if one is more inequality averse than the other, the household preference induced by optimally allocating aggregate bundles according to this social welfare function is more risk averse than the other. We present examples showing that this comparative static can be reversed if inequality aversion is dropped. We show that t...
متن کاملLoss aversion and perceptionally risk aversion
This paper analyzes, for S-shaped value functions, the relations between loss aversion and perceptionally risk aversion (i.e. computed with the perceived probability weights) in Cumulative Prospect Theory . We show that perceptionally risk aversion for mixed sign lotteries is equivalent to weak (or strong) loss aversion, so this is the right assumption to get a sensible behavior towards risk. T...
