A benchmark value for relative prudence
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose benchmark values for the coefficients of relative risk aversion and relative prudence on the basis of a binary choice model where the decision maker chooses between aggregating or disaggragating multiplicative risks. We relate our results to the decison maker’s willingness to trade-off the second with the first and the third (central) moment of his wealth distribution.

Time Horizon and the Discount Rate
We consider an economy à la Lucas (1978, Econometrica 46, 1429–1446) with a risk-averse representative agent. The exogenous growth rate of the economy follows a random walk. We characterize the set of utility functions for which it is efficient to discount more distant cash flows at a lower rate. The benchmark result is that, when the growth rate is almost surely nonnegative, the yield curve is...
متن کاملThe values of relative risk aversion and prudence: A context-free interpretation
In this paper we apply to multiplicative lotteries the idea of preference for "harm disaggregation" that was used for additive lotteries in order to interpret the signs of successive derivatives of a utility function. In this way, we can explain in general terms why the values of the coefficients of relative risk aversion and relative prudence are usually compared respectively to 1 and 2. We al...

In this paper we investigate the relationships between prudence, risk aversion, and cautiousness. These three measures explain investors’ investment decisions in the money market, stock market, and option market respectively. Thus to understand how investors’ investment decisions in the three markets are related it is important to know the relationships between the three measures. We show that ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) with considering the best condition for each decision making unit (DMU) assesses the relative efficiency for it and divides a homogenous group of DMUs in to two categories: efficient and inefficient, but traditional DEA models can not rank efficient DMUs. Although some models were introduced for ranking efficient DMUs, Franklin Lio & Hsuan peng (2008), proposed a...
