Fortin, Ines; Hlouskova, Jaroslava - 2012

We study the asset allocation of a quadratic loss-averse (QLA) investor and derive conditions under which the QLA problem is equivalent to the mean-variance (MV) and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) problems. Then we solve analytically the two-asset problem of the QLA investor for a risk-free...

Looming large or seeming small? : attitudes towards losses in a representative sample

Chapman, Jonathan; Snowberg, Erik; Wang, Stephanie; … - 2022

We measure individual-level loss aversion using three incentivized, representative surveys of the U.S. population (combined N = 3,000). We find that around 50% of the U.S. population is loss tolerant, with many participants accepting negative-expected-value gambles. This is counter to earlier...

Social anchor effects in decision-making under ambiguity

Lahno, Amrei M. - 2014

I experimentally examine whether feedback about others' choices provides an anchor for decision-making under ambiguity. In a between-subjects design I vary whether subjects learn choices made individually by a "peer" in a first part when facing the same task a second time, and whether prospects...
