Our aim is to analyze the link between optimism and risk aversion in a subjective expected utility setting and to estimate the average level of optimism when weighted by risk tolerance. Its estimation leads to a non-trivial statistical problem. We start from a large lottery survey (1536...

In this paper, we consider a family of complete or incomplete Financial models such that the price processes of the Financial assets converge in distribution to those in a limit model. Different authors pointed out that we do not have necessarily convergence of the arbitrage pricing intervals in...

Why do investors keep different opinions even though they learn from their own failures and successes? Why do investors keep different opinions even though they observe each other and learn from their relative failures and successes? We analyze beliefs dynamics when beliefs result from a very...

We consider the problem of optimal risk sharing of some given total risk between two economic agents characterized by law-invariant monetary utility functions or equivalently, law-invariant risk measures. We first prove existence of an optimal risk sharing allocation which is in addition...

This paper is a generalization of [Calvet, L., Grandmont, J.-M., Lemaire, I., 2002. Aggregation of heterogenous beliefs and asset pricing in complete financial markets. Working paper] to a dynamic setting. We propose a method to aggregate heterogeneous individual probability beliefs, in dynamic...

In this paper we eliminate the free disposal assumption in a general equilibrium model in which the production sector may exhibit increasing returns to scale or more general types of nonconvexities and where the firms follow general pricing rules. Under standard assumptions in this framework, we...
