Third-generation prospect theory
We present a new theory of decision under uncertainty: third-generation prospect theory (PT). This retains the predictive power of previous versions of prospect theory, but extends that theory by allowing reference points to be uncertain while decision weights are specified in a rank-dependent way. We show that PT preferences respect a state-conditional form of stochastic dominance. The theory ...
متن کاملEmpirical evaluation of third-generation prospect theory
Third generation prospect theory (Schmidt et al. J Risk Uncertain 36:203– 223, 2008) is a theory of choices and of judgments of highest buying and lowest selling prices of risky prospects, i.e., of willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA). The gap betweenWTP andWTA is sometimes called the “endowment effect” and was previously called the “point of view” effect. Third generation p...
متن کاملProspect Theory
Prospect theory is a descriptive theory of how individuals choose among risky alternatives. The theory challenged the conventional wisdom that economic decision makers are rational expected utility maximizers. We present a number of empirical demonstrations that are inconsistent with the classical theory, expected utility, but can be explained by prospect theory. We then discuss the prospect th...
متن کاملProspect Theory
Prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979) predictions were examined in light of ethnocentrism and intergroup conflict. An experiment conducted at the outset of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the U.S., U. K. and their allies explored American and British participants’ preferences for certain versus uncertain gains and losses concerning Iraqi, American, and British lives. In four conditions, parti...
متن کاملPrediction using Prospect Theory
In this report, we consider prediction of an agent’s preferences over risky monetary outcomes using Prospect Theory. We suppose that for a given agent we have data on previous prospects that the agent has accepted or declined. Based on this information, we would like to predict whether the agent will accept some new prospect X∗. This amounts to learning a value function v and probability weight...
