Tests of Cumulative Prospect Theory with graphical displays of probability
Recent research reported evidence that contradicts cumulative prospect theory and the priority heuristic. The same body of research also violates two editing principles of original prospect theory: cancellation (the principle that people delete any attribute that is the same in both alternatives before deciding between them) and combination (the principle that people combine branches leading to...
متن کاملConditioning under Cumulative Prospect Theory
This paper derives conditions under which the standard decomposition of unconditional expected utility into marginal probabilities and conditional expected utilities generalizes to Cumulative Prospect Theory. The results are relevant for empirical analyses in which marginal probabilities are used as explanatory variables.
متن کاملCumulative prospect theory and gambling
Whilst Cumulative Prospect theory (CPT) provides an explanation of gambling on longshots at actuarially unfair odds, it cannot explain why people might bet on more favoured outcomes. This paper shows that this is explicable if the degree of loss aversion experienced by the agent is reduced for small-stake gambles (as a proportion of wealth), and probability distortions are greater over losses t...
متن کاملRisk Aversion in Cumulative Prospect Theory
This paper characterizes the conditions for risk aversion in cumulative prospect theory where risk aversion is defined in the strong sense of Rothschild and Stiglitz (1970). Under weaker assumptions than differentiability we show that risk aversion implies convex weighting functions for gains and for losses but not necessarily a concave utility function. Also, we investigate the exact relations...
متن کاملTrial and Settlement under Cumulative Prospect Theory
It is well-known that if the parties in a legal dispute agree about the likelihood of potential trial outcomes then they will be inclined to settle vs. going to trial in order to reduce litigation costs and risk. In this paper, we assume that both plaintiff and defendant evaluate this decision in accordance with Cumulative Prospect Theory. It is found that the two parties will sometimes be unab...
