Economic experiments have shown that when given the choice between piece-rate and winner-take-all tournament style compensation, women are more reluctant than men to choose tournaments. These gender difference experiments have all relied on a similar framework where subjects were not informed of...

We present a new model of forward dynamic utilities. In doing so, we provide unique (viscosity) solutions. In addition, we introduce Hausdorff-continuous viscosity solutions to the portfolio model.
