We observe that the standard variant of Prospect Theory cannot describe very risk-averse choices in simple lotteries. This makes it diffcult to accommodate it with experimental data. Using an exponential value function can solve this problem and allows to cover the whole spectrum of risk-averse...

Prospect theory has found an increasing attention in many fields of economics. However, it has scarcely been addressed in a macroeconomic growth model. In an earlier paper we introduced prospect theory into a stochastic growth model. This paper focuses on linking the Euler equation induced by...

The k Nearest Neighb or (kNN) density estimator first for-malized by Loftsgaarden and Quesenb erry (1965) is central to a broad range of the literature on density estimation. It is knownto b e strongly uniformly consistent if k increases appropriatelywith the sample size. The contribution of...
