The risk of investment in schooling has largely been ignored. We assess the variance in the rate of return by surveying … positively skewed. Our best guess of ex ante risk in university education is a coefficient of variation of about 0.3, comparable …

We introduce a new method of varying the risk that bidders face in first-price private value auctions. We find that … decreasing bidders' risk significantly reduces the degree of overbidding relative to the risk-neutral Bayesian-Nash equilibrium … prediction. This implies that risk affects bidding behavior as generally expected in auction theory. While resolving a long …

exogenous risk and delegation. That is, we show that only if exogenous risk is sufficiently large, the risk-neutral principal … may prefer to delegate authority over decisions to the risk-averse agent. Intuitively, for incentive reasons, the … principal may optimally want to allow the agent to reduce his risk exposure. Nevertheless, even endogenous risk may be higher …
