Orderings of income distribution in terms of inequality should be closely related to orderings in terms of risk. Using … a novel mult-country questgionnaire experiment we examine the basis for this claim in terms of respondents …' distributional perceptions. We show that in terms of both inequality and risk individuals consistently reject one of the standard …

Using regular variation to define heavy tailed distributions, we show that prominent downside risk measures produce … similar and consistent ranking of heavy tailed risk. Thus regardless of the particular risk measure being used, assets will be …

In this paper we compare overall as well as downside risk measures with respect to the criteria of first and second … order stochastic dominance. While the downside risk measures, with the exception of tail conditional expectation, are … consistent with first order stochastic dominance, overall risk measures are not, even if we restrict ourselves to two …

The model implies that the investment rate and the hiring rate predicts stock returns because these variables …

We examine individuals’ distributional orderings in a number of contexts. This is done by using a questionnaire-experiment … flavours include inequality, risk, social welfare and justice. The issue of personal involvement in the distributional …
