Parental guidance and supervised learning
Lizzeri, Alessandro (contributor);  … - 2006
We propose a simple theoretical model of supervised learning that is potentially useful to interpret a number of empirical phenomena. The model captures a basic tradeoff between sheltering the child from the consequences of his mistakes, and allowing him to learn from experience. We characterize...

Income risk, precautionary saving, and loss aversion : an empirical test
Ibanez, Marcela; Schneider, Sebastian O. - 2021
This paper empirically examines the behavioral precautionary saving hypothesis by Koszegi and Rabin (2009) stating that uncertainty about future income triggers saving because of loss aversion. We extend their theoretical analysis to also consider the internal margin, i.e., the strength, of loss...

Risk and rationality: uncovering heterogeneity in probability distortion
Bruhin, Adrian (contributor); Fehr-Duda, Helga (contributor) - 2007 - Rev. version
It has long been recognized that there is considerable heterogeneity in individual risk taking behavior but little is known about the distribution of risk taking types. We present a parsimonious characterization of risk taking behavior by estimating a finite mixture regression model for three...
