A Series of Encounters: The Information Behaviour of Participants in a Subject-Based Electronic Discussion List
Irvine-Smith, Sally - In: Journal of Information & Knowledge Management (JIKM) 09 (2010) 03, pp. 183-201

The formation of experts' expectations on labour markets : do they run with the pack?
Schanne, Norbert - Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) - 2012
"Expectations regarding the economic development might be correlated due to various reasons: because individuals use the same public information and similar evaluation methods, and because of social learning or herding amongst peers. We analyse to what extent expectations are driven by herd...

Abdellaoui, Mohammed; Bleichrodt, Han; L'Haridon, Olivier; … - Centre de Recherche en Économie et Management (CREM) - 2013
This paper tests whether utility is the same for risk and for uncertainty. This test is critical for models that capture ambiguity aversion through a difference in event weighting between risk and uncertainty, like the multiple priors models and prospect theory. We present a new method to...

Risk aversion under preference uncertainty
Kräussl, Roman; Lucas, André; Siegmann, Arjen - Center for Financial Studies - 2010
We show that if an agent is uncertain about the precise form of his utility function, his actual relative risk aversion may depend on wealth even if he knows his utility function lies in the class of constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) utility functions. We illustrate the consequences of this...

The 2011 European short sale ban on financial stocks: A cure or a curse?
Félix, Luiz; Kräussl, Roman; Stork, Philip - Center for Financial Studies - 2013
Did the August 2011 European short sale bans on financial stocks accomplish their goals? In order to answer this question, we use stock options' implied volatility skews to proxy for investors' risk aversion. We find that on ban announcement day, risk aversion levels rose for all stocks but more...

Epstein–Zin Utility in DICE: Is Risk Aversion Irrelevant to Climate Policy?
Ackerman, Frank; Stanton, Elizabeth; Bueno, Ramón - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 56 (2013) 1, pp. 73-84
Climate change involves uncertain probabilities of catastrophic risks, and very longterm consequences of current actions. Climate economics, therefore, is centrally concerned with the treatment of risk and time. Yet conventional assumptions about utility and optimal economic growth create a...

Firm’s tax evasion in a principal-agent model with self-protection
Biswas, Rongili; Marchese, Carla; Privileggi, Fabio - In: Journal of Economics 110 (2013) 2, pp. 125-140
Gatekeepers have an increasing role in taxation and regulation. Whereas burdening them with legal liability for misconducts that benefit those who resort to their services actually discourages wrongdoings—as will be clarified in the article—an alienation effect can also arise. The gatekeeper...
