Possibilistic Risk Aversion and Its Indicators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the traditional treatment, risk situations are modeled by random variables. This paper focuses on risk situations described by fuzzy numbers. The goal of the paper is to define and characterize possibilistic risk aversion and study some of its indicators. Key–Words: Possibilistic risk aversion, possibilistic indicators

A possibilistic approach to risk aversion
Possibility theory was initiated by Zadeh in 1978 as an alternative to probability theory. Probability theory is not efficient in the study of those uncertainty situations in which phenomena occur with a small frequency. In such cases it is preferable to apply techniques offered by possibility theory.In foundation of possibility theory one started on a paralel line with probability theory. Rand...
متن کاملA possibilistic approach to risk premium
Risk aversion is one of the main themes in risk theory. Risk theory is treated usually by probability theory. The aim of this paper is to propose an approach of the risk aversion by possibility theory initiated by Zadeh in 1978 as an alternative of probability theory in the modeling of uncertain situations. The main notions studied in this paper are the possibilistic risk premium and the possib...
متن کاملComputing the Risk Indicators in Fuzzy Systems
The modeling of complex risk situations imposes the existence of multiple ways to represent the risk and compare the risk situations between them. In probabilistic models, risk is described by random variables and risk situations are compared by stochastic dominance. In possibilistic or credibilistic models, risk is represented by fuzzy variables. This paper concerns three indicators of dominan...
متن کاملPossibilistic risk aversion with many parameters
The study of risk aversion of an agent confronted by a risk situations with several parameters is an important topic of risk theory. It is tackled traditionally with probabilistic methods. When these do not offer an appropriate shaping we can use Zadeh’s possibility theory . In this paper a possibilistic model of risk aversion with several parameters is proposed. The notion of possibilistic ris...
متن کاملConnecting possibilistic prudence and optimal saving
— In this paper we study the optimal saving problem in the framework of possibility theory. The notion of possibilistic precautionary saving is introduced as a measure of the way the presence of possibilistic risk (represented by a fuzzy number) influences a consumer in establishing the level of optimal saving. The notion of prudence of an agent in the face of possibilistic risk is defined and ...
