When the background risk is either additive or multiplicative, we provide reasonable restrictions on the firm's preferences …

The prospect theory is one of the most popular decision-making theories. It is based on the S-shaped utility function …, unlike the von Neumann and Morgenstern (NM) theory, which is based on the concave utility function. The S-shape brings in … mathematical challenges: simple extensions and generalizations of NM theory into the prospect theory cannot be frequently achieved …

The paper studies an duopoly with risk averse firms exposed to demand uncertainty. A risk sharing market is introduced …

Within the prospect theory the paper examines production and hedging decisions of a competitive firm under price … uncertainty. We consider the prospect theory for the firm's utility function in the two moment model known as (mu … theory, mean-variance model, price uncertainty …

The value at risk measure attempts to summarize in a single number market value risk of a portfolio of financial assets …

Our study examines the behavior of a risk-averse investor who faces two sources of uncertainty: a random asset price … and inflation risk. Both sources of uncertainty make it difficult to stabilize consumption over time. However, investors … can enter risk-sharing markets, such as futures markets, to manage these risks. We develop a dynamic risk management model …
