The prospect theory is one of the most popular decision-making theories. It is based on the S-shaped utility function, unlike the von Neumann and Morgenstern (NM) theory, which is based on the concave utility function. The S-shape brings in mathematical challenges: simple extensions and...

This study examines gender differences in risk-taking behavior among managers in a female-dominated industry. Using … previous studies on gender differences in risk preferences, and thereby emphasize the importance of considering the industrial … environment.

Motivated by individuals' emotional response to risk at different time horizons, we model an 'anxious' agent - one who … is more risk averse with respect to imminent risks than distant risks. Such preferences describe well-documented features … structure of risk premia, which are found empirically. Since such preferences can lead to dynamic inconsistencies with respect …
