We study this problem in the context of … determine the utility gambles, and attitudes to risk evaluate these gambles, in order to choose an optimal consumption gamble …. We study how risk aversion interacts with preferences to determine the direction and size of comparative statics effects …

This paper studies the relation between concavity, stochastic or state dependent utility functions, and risk aversion …. Using the common definition of risk aversion, but modified for state dependent preferences, we show that concavity does not … imply risk aversion. Instead, it implies a weaker version of risk aversion, defined herein, and called risk aversion for …

This paper investigates the effect of ambiguity on personal vaccination decision. We first characterize the vaccination decision in the absence of ambiguity. We then show that uncertainty about the probability of side effects and the efficacy of the vaccine always reduce take-up under ambiguity...
