I analyze sequential auctions with expectations-based loss-averse bidders who have independent private values and unit demand. Equilibrium bids are history dependent and subject to a “discouragement effect”: the higher is the winning bid in the current round, the less aggressive are the bids...

We run experiments of first-price auctions with two groups, by which we directly detect the presence of bidders’ loss-aversion. Each human bidder bids against three preprogrammed computer bidders. The computer bidders independently draw their values from the uniform distribution and bid their...

point due to updated information about others' values (i.e., the own winning probability) during the course of the auction …, and make optimal binary decisions at each price (approve or quit in the English auction and wait or bid in the Dutch … auction). First, we solve for personal equilibrium profiles, i.e., profiles of bids that contain for each bidder a bidding …

Using the Heterogeneous Agent Model framework, we incorporate an extension based on Prospect Theory into a popular agent-based asset pricing model. The extension covers the phenomenon of loss aversion manifested in risk aversion and asymmetric treatment of gains and losses. Using Monte Carlo...

This chapter surveys the rapidly growing literature in which risk preferences are measured and manipulated in laboratory and field experiments. The most commonly used measurement instruments are: an investment task for allocations between a safe and risky asset, a choice menu task for eliciting...
