(CRRA) and Constant Absolute Risk Aversion (CARA) utility specifications perform approximately equally well, with CARA … experiment to measure risk attitudes. We find robust evidence of substantial risk aversion. As an extension, we esimate the … various models using transformations of the ‘true’ probabilities to decision weights. The estimated degree of risk aversion …

Using a large sample of retail investors as well as experimental data we find that risk and ambiguity aversion are … positively correlated. We show the common link is decision style: intuitive thinkers tolerate more risk and ambiguity than … find that risk and ambiguity aversion vary with individual characteristics and wealth. The wealthy are less risk averse but …

averse to risk and ambiguity. The evidence is largely correlational, however, leaving open the question of the direction of … causality. In this paper, we present experimental evidence of causation running from reliance on intuition to risk and ambiguity … lowers the probability of being ambiguity averse by 30 percentage points and increases risk tolerance by about 30 percent in …

situation poses to price stability. We propose to regard the central banker as a risk manager who aims to contain inflation … within pre-specified bounds. We develop formal tools of risk management that may be used to quantify and forecast the risks … of failing to attain that objective. We illustrate the use of these risk measures in practice. First, we show how to …
