Behind the Veil of Ignorance: Risk Aversion or Inequality Aversion?
This paper successfully decomposes risk attitude and social preference behind the veil of ignorance. Using a novel experiment wherein subjects move graphically along a slider to divide a pie of money between high and low reward in both lottery and VoI treatments, we are able to collect rich data sets at individual level. We check individual preference characteristics including consistency and h...

Measuring risk aversion is sensitive to assumptions about the wealth in subjects’ utility functions. Data from the same subjects in lowand high-stake lottery decisions allow estimating the wealth in a pre-specified oneparameter utility function simultaneously with risk aversion. This paper first shows how wealth estimates can be identified assuming constant relative risk aversion (CRRA). Using ...
متن کاملFlexible Multi-Objective Transmission Expansion Planning with Adjustable Risk Aversion
This paper presents a multi-objective transmission expansion planning (TEP) framework. Rather than using the conventional deterministic reliability criterion, a risk component based on the probabilistic reliability criterion is incorporated into the TEP objectives. This risk component can capture the stochastic nature of power systems, such as load and wind power output variations, component av...
