Loss aversion and perceptionally risk aversion
This paper analyzes, for S-shaped value functions, the relations between loss aversion and perceptionally risk aversion (i.e. computed with the perceived probability weights) in Cumulative Prospect Theory . We show that perceptionally risk aversion for mixed sign lotteries is equivalent to weak (or strong) loss aversion, so this is the right assumption to get a sensible behavior towards risk. T...
متن کاملSouth African Trade Policy Matters : Trade Performance and Trade Policy
South African trade policy has exerted a major influence on the composition and aggregate growth of trade. In the Apartheid period, trade protection seriously impeded both exports and imports, and the economy depended on favorable global commodity price trends to avoid running into an external constraint. South Africa developed a comparative advantage in capital-intensive primary and manufactur...
متن کاملUncertainty , Risk Aversion and International Trade ∗
This paper develops a general equilibrium model of international trade in homogenous intermediate inputs. In the model, trade between countries is driven by uncertainty in the delivery of inputs. Because their managers are risk-averse, final good firms contract with multiple suppliers to decrease the variability of their profits. The analysis shows that risk diversification provides an incentiv...
متن کاملLoss Aversion and Labor Supply
Loss Aversion and Labor Supply In many occupations workers’ labor supply choices are constrained by institutional rules regulating labor time and effort provision. This renders explicit tests of the neoclassical theory of labor supply difficult. Here we present evidence from studies examining labor supply responses in “neoclassical environments” in which workers are free to choose when and how ...
متن کاملAmbiguity Aversion and Absence of Trade∗
In a equilibrium model with uncertainty averse consumers, we prove that more ambiguity aversion implies less trade. The reduction in trade caused by ambiguity aversion can be as severe as to lead to no-trade, even in the Choquet Expected Utility (CEU) or Maximin Expected Utility (MEU) models. Our results do not assume that consumers have constant endowments, as usual in the literature, but only...
