Many Good Risks: An Interpretation of Multivariate Risk and Risk Aversion without the Independence Axiom*

چکیده
What can be inferred, without assuming the Independence axiom, about an agent’s preferences over many-good lotteries from knowledge that the agent is income risk averse? We show that income risk aversion corresponds to an intuitive substitution property of the many-good lottery preferences that is, itself, equivalent to a standard definition of many-good risk aversion. We apply our approach to derive some well-known results directly from our interpretation of income risk aversion and neutrality. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: D80, D81.

GENETIC PROGRAMMING AND MULTIVARIATE ADAPTIVE REGRESION SPLINES FOR PRIDICTION OF BRIDGE RISKS AND COMPARISION OF PERFORMANCES
In this paper, two different data driven models, genetic programming (GP) and multivariate adoptive regression splines (MARS), have been adopted to create the models for prediction of bridge risk score. Input parameters of bridge risks consists of safe risk rating (SRR), functional risk rating (FRR), sustainability risk rating (SUR), environmental risk rating (ERR) and target output. The total ...

The gaining returns in line with risks is always a major concern for market play-ers. This study compared the selection of stock portfolios based on the strategy of buying and retaining winning stocks and the purchase strategy based on the level of investment risks. In this study, the two-step optimization algorithms NSGA-II and SPEA-II were used to optimize the stock portfolios. In order to de...
متن کامل– FORTHCOMING in Games and Economic Behavior – When does aggregation reduce risk aversion ? ∗
We study the problem of risk sharing within a household or syndicate. A household shares risky prospects using a social welfare function. We characterize the social welfare functions such that the household is collectively less risk averse than each member, and satisfies the Pareto principle and an independence axiom. We single out the sum of certainty equivalents as the unique member of this f...

We study the problem of risk sharing within a household facing subjective uncertainty. A household shares uncertain prospects using a social welfare function. We characterize the social welfare functions such that the household is collectively less risk averse than each member, and satisfies the Pareto principle and an independence axiom. We single out the sum of certainty equivalents as the un...
متن کاملRisk premiums and certainty equivalents of loss-averse newsvendors of bounded utility
Loss-averse behavior makes the newsvendors avoid the losses more than seeking the probable gains as the losses have more psychological impact on the newsvendor than the gains. In economics and decision theory, the classical newsvendor models treat losses and gains equally likely, by disregarding the expected utility when the newsvendor is loss-averse. Moreover, the use of unbounded utility to m...
