Explaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملRisk Pooling, Risk Preferences, and Social Networks
Using data from a field experiment conducted in seventy Colombian municipalities, we investigate who pools risk with whom when risk pooling arrangements are not formally enforced. We explore the roles played by risk attitudes and network connections both theoretically and empirically. We find that pairs of participants who share a bond of friendship or kinship are more likely to (1) join the sa...
متن کاملSaving, Risk Sharing and Preferences for Risk
Saving decisions are made jointly by household members who generally earn risky incomes. Consequently, to interpret saving patterns it is crucial to analyze the relationship between intrahousehold risk sharing and intertemporal choices. To that end in this paper the household is characterized as a group of agents with possibly heterogeneous preferences making efficient decisions. Two results ar...
متن کاملRecovering Risk Preferences
The work proposed here will develop experimental methods and tools for the analysis of behavior under uncertainty in economically important settings. The research is motivated by types of questions commonly asked in demand analysis: (i) Consistency. Is behavior under conditions of uncertainty consistent with a model of utility maximization? (ii) Structure. Is the observed data consistent with a...
متن کاملEvolution of Risk Preferences
This paper presents a simulation, made with a genetic algorithm (GA), in order to shape risk attitudes in a very simple environment of lotteries such as the Machina triangle. GA models the process of learning and imitation from successful traders in real world economics in a satisfactory way. An overlapping generations case is used where bankrupted agents exit the market and are replaced by new...
