We study perception biases arising under second-best perception strategies. An agent correctly observes a parameter … information until her decision. A designer of the decision process chooses a perception strategy that determines the distribution … of the perception errors. If some information loss is unavoidable due to cognition constraints, then (under additional …

Loss aversion postulates that people prefer avoiding losses over acquiring gains of equal size. It is a central part of prospect theory and, according to Daniel Kahneman, “the most significant contribution of psychology to behavioral economics” (Kahneman, 2011, p. 300). It has powerful...

Choosing solutions under risk and uncertainty requires the consideration of several factors. One of the main factors in choosing a solution is modeling the decision maker's attitude to risk. The expected utility theory was the first approach that allowed to correctly model various nuances of the...

Extreme weather events pose an economic threat to farms. The risk management behaviour against such events is often studied using prospect theory as a framework, but empirically deriving corresponding parameters in the field involving farmers is challenging. To address this issue, we compare...
