We propose a novel linear approximation of expected utility. The approximation guides us as we transfer the traditional quadratic dependence of third-order stochastic dominance (TSD) into an equivalent linear system. The finding also shows a dual relationship between traditional low partial...

We develop a novel Mean-Max Drawdown portfolio optimization approach using buy-and-hold portfolios. The optimization is performed utilizing a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm on a sample of S&P 100 constituents. Our optimization procedure provides portfolios with better Mean-Max Drawdown...

Information can trigger unpleasant emotions. As a result, individuals might be tempted to willfully ignore it. We experimentally investigate whether increasing perceived control can mitigate strategic ignorance. Participants from India were presented with a choice to receive information about...

This paper examines causal effects of air pollution on migration by exploiting a unique natural experiment of desulfurization of power plants in the region of North Bohemia in the Czech Republic after the fall of communism in 1989. The results based on a difference-in-difference estimator show...
