Supermodularity and risk aversion
In this paper, we consider the relationship between supermodularity and risk aversion. We show that supermodularity of the certainty equivalent implies that the certainty equivalent of any random variable is less than its mean. We also derive conditions under which supermodularity of the certainty equivalent is equivalent to aversion to mean-preserving spreads in the sense of Rothschild and Sti...
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 کاملSimilarities between Greater Risk Aversion and Greater Downside Risk Aversion
This paper characterizes downside risk aversion in a simple and intuitive manner. The characterization highlights certain features of downside risk aversion that are common with traditional risk aversion in regards the comparative statics of risk-free wealth. Also, using this characterization one can simplify considerably a theorem by Jindapon (2010) relating to greater downside risk aversion a...
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...
