Calibration of quantum decision theory, aversion to large losses and predictability of probabilistic choices
Vincent, Sabine; Jukalov, Vjačeslav I.; Kovalenko, Tatyana - 2016
We present the first calibration of quantum decision theory (QDT) to an empirical data set. The data comprise 91 …) the utility factor with a stochastic version of cumulative prospect theory (logit-CPT), and (b) the attraction factor with …

Concavity, Stochastic Utility, and Risk Aversion
Jarrow, Robert - 2020
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...

Apportioning of risks via stochastic dominance
Eeckhoudt, Louis R. (contributor);  … - 2008
Consider a simple two-state risk with equal probabilities for the two states. In particular, assume that the random wealth variable Xi dominates Yi via ith-order stochastic dominance for i = M,N. We show that the 50-50 lottery [XN + YM, YN + XM] dominates the lottery [XN + XM, YN + YM] via (N +...

Stochastic Dominance and Nonparametric Comparative Revealed Risk Aversion
Heufer, Jan - 2012
It is shown how to test revealed preference data on choices under uncertainty for consistency with first and second order stochastic dominance (FSD or SSD). The axiom derived for SSD is a necessary and sufficient condition for risk aversion. If an investor is risk averse, stochastic dominance...

Price limits under incomplete preference information based on almost stochastic dominance
Jahnke, Hermann; Martini, Jan T.; Wiens, Tobias - In: Business research 12 (2019) 1, pp. 241-269
We derive price limits as decision aids for identifying favorable and unfavorable contracts from the perspective of a selling firm in face of uncertain outcomes. The analysis is based on the concept of almost stochastic dominance to incorporate incomplete information about the decision-maker’s...
