This paper takes into account the most prevalent practices in terms of fees in order to study the dynamic asset allocation of fund managers exhibiting a loss aversion utility function. Managers are compensated with performance-based (asymmetric and symmetric) fees comprising an underperformance...

This paper proposes a pure-exchange economy with three key ingredients: habit formation, stochastic moments of aggregate consumption, and a small degree of heterogeneity in risk aversion consistent with empirical data. We obtain closed formulas for many equilibrium quantities, including the...

The sharp correction in cryptocurrency markets in May (and June) 2022, especially the dramatic price collapse of ‘stablecoin’ terraUSD (or UST) and its sister token Luna, was covered extensively by the press. We looked at 4,400 reader comments that were posted in response to news and opinion...

Using expected utility under uncertain probability theory (EUUP, Izhakian, 2017, 2020), we study whether the ambiguity related to individual stocks is priced in the Chinese A-share market and the mechanism behind the ambiguity premium phenomenon. Theoretically, when the asset price is within a...

This note will extend the research presented in Brown & Rogers (2009) to the case of CRRA agents. We consider the model outlined in that paper in which agents had diverse beliefs about the dividends produced by a risky asset. We now assume that the agents all have CRRA utility, with some integer...

The paper analyses the tendency of investors to realize gains too early and the reluctance to liquidate losing positions. Analysis is based on the complete transaction data of the Estonian stock market. The Cox proportional hazard model along with ratio analysis is used to measure the...

This paper examines the life-cycle impact of preference factors as experience, loss aversion, and narrow framing on explaining the empirical low stock market participation, low stock share conditional on participation, and positive relationships between financial wealth and participation as well...

We present a new theory of asset pricing and portfolio choices under asymmetric reasoning, contrast the predictions with those under asymmetric information, and present experimental evidence in favor of our theory. The Efficient Markets Hypothesis and its formal foundation, the Rational...

We propose a novel one-sector stochastic growth model, where producitivity growth follows a Markov-switching process with two regimes, and where households have generalized recursive smooth ambiguity preferences. The adopted class of preferences permits a three-way separation of risk aversion,...

I develop a stochastic growth model with production where there is a hidden state governing productivity growth regimes, and the hidden state evolves according to a Markov chain. Economic agents learn about the hidden state and display ambiguity aversion in the spirit of Klibanoff et al. (2005)....
