Stochastic dominance : convexity and some efficiency tests
Lizyayev, Andrey M. - 2009
This paper points out the importance of Stochastic Dominance (SD) efficient sets being convex. We reviewclassic convexity and efficient set characterization results on SD efficiency of a given portfolio relative to adiversified set of assets and generalize them in the following aspects. First,...

On a simple survey measure of individual risk aversion
Hartog, Joop; Ferrer-i-Carbonell, Ada; Jonker, Nicole - 2000
We ask individuals for their reservation price of a specified lotteryand deduce their Arrow-Pratt measure of risk aversion.This allows direct testing of common hypotheses on risk attitudes inthree datasets. We find that risk aversion indeed fallswith income and wealth. Entrepreneurs are less...

Poverty and uncertainty attitudes
Gonzalez Jimenez, Victor H. - 2024
This paper demonstrates that well-established biases in decision making under uncertainty can generate poverty traps. A theoretical framework is developed to demonstrate that: i) probability weighting and ambiguity attitude can lead individuals to erroneously undervalue profitable investments,...

World equity premium based risk aversion estimates
Pozzi, Lorenzo; Vries, Casper G. de; Zenhorst, J. - 2010
The equity premium puzzle holds that the coefficient of relative risk aversion estimated from the consumption based CAPM under power utility is excessively high. Moreover, estimates in the literature vary considerably across countries. We gauge the uncertainty pertaining to the country risk...

Measurement error in education and growth regressions
Portela, Miguel; Alessie, Rob; Teulings, Coen N. - 2005
The perpetual inventory method used for the construction of education data per country leads to systematic measurement … error. This paper analyses the effect of this measurement error on GDP regressions. There is a systematic difference in the … the measurement error. The standard attenuation bias suggests that using these corrected data would lead to a higher …

Booms, busts and behavioural heterogeneity in stock prices
Hommes, Cars H.; Veld, Daan in't - 2015 - This draft: July 2015
We empirically evaluate a behavioural model with boundedly rational traders who disagree about the persistence of deviations from the fundamental stock price. Fundamentalist traders believe in mean-reversion, while chartists extrapolate trends. Agents gradually switch between the two rules,...
