Accounting for different uncertainties : implications for climate investments?
Hector, Svenja - 2013
The paper clarifies the link between changes in risk aversion and the effect on the consumption discount rate. In a general framework that can cope with various forms of uncertainty, it is shown that the response of the consumption discount rate to a change in risk aversion depends on some...

Sharing of climate risks across world regions
Emmerling, Johannes - 2014
Uncertainty is prevalent in the context of climate change impacts. Moreover, the distribution across the globe is not uniform. We analyze how climate risks could be reduced via an insurance scheme at the global scale across regions and quantify the potential welfare gains from such a scheme....

The strength of sensitivity to ambiguity
Cubitt, Robin P.; Kuilen, Gijs van de; Mukerji, Sujoy - 2017
We report an experiment where each subject's ambiguity sensitivity is measured by an ambiguity premium, a concept analogous to and comparable with a risk premium. In our design, some tasks feature known objective risks and others uncertainty about which subjects have imperfect, heterogeneous,...

Uncertainty and risk-aversion in a dynamic oligopoly with sticky prices
Valentini, Edilio; Vitale, Paolo - 2019
In this paper we present a dynamic discrete-time model that allows to investigate the impact of risk-aversion in an oligopoly characterized by a homogeneous non-storable good, sticky prices and uncertainty. Our model nests the classical dynamic oligopoly model with sticky prices by Fershtman and...

Market allocations under ambiguity : a survey
Billot, Antoine; Mukerji, Sujoy; Tallon, Jean-Marc - 2019
We review some of the (theoretical) economic implications of David Schmeidler's models of decision under uncertainty (Choquet expected utility and maxmin expected utility) in competitive market settings. We start with the portfolio inertia result of Dow and Werlang (1992), show how it does or...
