Expected utility functions are limited to second-order (conditional) risk aversion, while non-expected utility … functions can exhibit either first-order or second-order (conditional) risk aversion. We extend the concept of orders of … conditional risk aversion to orders of conditional dependent risk aversion. We show that first-order conditional dependent risk …

We provide an economic valuation of the riskiness of risk models. We estimate the impact of model risks (estimation and … specification) on VaR estimates. We find that integrating the model risk into the VaR computations implies a substantial correction … relies on a backtesting framework, for integrating the global model risk into VaR estimates …

This paper characterizes the stochastic deterioration resulting from taking a zero-mean financial risk in the presence … of correlated non-financial background risk. We show in particular that it has an equivalent stochastic order as well as … stochastic deterioration can be decomposed into a "correlation increase'' and a "marginal risk increase''. We further …

This study investigates the effect of underlying risk preferences on analysts' work-related decisions. Specifically, we … examine whether facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR), an innate personal characteristic that has been linked to financial risk …
