Specifically, we … derive the patterns of diversification for agents who maximize a rank-dependent' expected utility, attaching more weight to … bad' than to good' outcomes, in contrast to the probability weights used in a conventional expected utility maximization …

We present a theory of choice among lotteries in which the decision maker's attention is drawn to (precisely defined … distinguish it from Prospect Theory, which we test. We also use the model to modify the standard asset pricing framework, and use …

This paper considers a representative agent model of asset prices based on a recursive utility specification. A … constant elasticity of intertemporal substitution is assumed but the risk-preference component of utility is restricted only by … semiparametric recursive utility model for the one-step ahead joint probability distribution for consumption growth and asset returns …

The appeal of expected utility theory as a basis for a descriptive model of risky decision making has diminished is a …-range probability than is proposed by the expected utility model and risk-seeking behavior over quot;long-shotquot; odds is common …
