Consider a simple two-state risk with equal probabilities for the two states. In particular, assume that the random … way, we can extend and generalize existing results about risk attitudes. This lottery preference includes behavior … exhibiting higher order risk effects, such as precautionary effects and tempering effects. …

In this paper we experimentally test skewness preferences at the individual level. Several prospects that can be ordered with respect to the third-degree stochastic dominance (3SD) criterion are ranked by the participants of the experiment. We find that the skewness of a distribution has a...

We consider a standard two-player all-pay auction with private values, where the valuation for the object is private information to each bidder. The crucial feature is that one bidder is favored by the allocation rule in the sense that he need not bid as much as the other bidder to win the...

This paper studies the impact of counter-party default risk of forward contracts on a firm's production and hedging … decisions. Using a model of a risk-averse competitive firm under price uncertainty, it derives several fundamental results. If … expected profits from forward contracts are zero, the hedge ratio is surprisingly not affected by default risk under general …
