Cette thèse étudie la solution à plusieurs modèles de marchés financiers avec des agents hétérogènes dont le taux d'aversion au risque diffère. Le premier chapitre résout un modèle avec des marchés complets et des dividendes définis par un mouvement brownien géométrique. Le deuxième chapitre résout un modèle similaire, mais avec un dividende qui revient à sa moyenne et montre comment on peut estimer le modèle.

Abstract:

Smoking is a leading cause of death worldwide, and thus the behavioural components need to be understood to mitigate the damage caused by the practice. The relationship between smoking and factors such as risk preferences and time preferences has been the subject of a growing body of literature. This paper evaluates experimental data from smokers and nonsmokers at the University of Cape Town collected in 2016 and 2017. Maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate models of risk preferences and time preferences. The results highlight that smokers are less risk averse than non-smokers; that

Abstract:

Chapter 1: Evolution of reciprocator preferences when agents can pay for information. A benchmark result in the evolutionary games literature is that a preference for reciprocity will evolve if preferences are observable (at zero cost), since reciprocators can cooperate with each other rather than with materialists, thereby achieving a fitness advantage. I investigate how a preference for reciprocity evolves if individuals can observe an opponent's preferences only by bearing a fitness cost. My main result applies when observing an opponent's type is cheap, but cooperating only gives a modest

The underlying theme of these endeavors is rendering macroeconomic models more realistic via the introduction of time-varying preferences, non-linear modelling, and financial frictions.</p>

Abstract:

Risk and uncertainty are ubiquitous and varied within the agricultural sector coming from a wide range of factors including vagaries of weather, the unpredictable nature of biophysical processes, market cycles and enabling environment. This study was used to investigate how weather risk and climate shocks and other agricultural inputs impact real per capita income from food crop production in Ghana. An econometric model to estimate a stochastic production function that quantifies the effects of these variables on the mean, variance and skewness of real per capita income was adopted. The result

Abstract:

The question of how to measure and classify people's risk preferences is of substantial importance in the field of economics. Inspired by the multitude of ways used to elicit risk preferences, we conduct a holistic investigation of the most prevalent method, the multiple price list (MPL) and its derivations. In our experiment, we find that revealed preferences differ under various versions of MPLs as well as yield unstable results within a 30-minute time frame. We determine the most stable elicitation method with the highest forecast accuracy by using multiple measures of within-method

Abstract:

In this dissertation, we experimentally examine individual preferences of effort, including time and risk preferences. In Chapter 3, we find that at least in certain settings and mindsets, individuals are very patient in their time preferences for effort, choosing to distribute effort evenly over time periods. However, they do not always live up to the stated plans, suggesting dynamic inconsistency or possibly two separate decision-making systems in the mind. This relates to our model in Chapter 2: a dual-self model of allocating effort between time periods in working toward a larger goal incl

In this companion paper to Broll and Mukherjee (2017), we empirically analyse how exchange rate volatilities affect firms optimal production and exporting decisions. The firms elasticity of risk aversion determines the direction of the impact of exchange rate risk on exports. Based on a flexible utility function that incorporates all possible risk preferences, a unique structurally estimable equation is used to estimate the risk aversion elasticities for a panel of Indian service sector (non-financial) firms over 2004-2015, using the quantile regression method.

There are 199 species at risk in British Columbia (B.C.). To elicit public support to conserve biodiversity, it is important to understand people’s attitudes and preferences toward species at risk.

In Study 1 reported in Chapter 2, we presented three messages about sea otters to 623 residents in B.C., and measured the change in their attitudes toward sea otters using Kellert’s typ

Abstract:

Is your risk preference stable? After Arrow and Pratt defined the method to measure risk aversion, many people try to find out what are their risk preferences. For a rational consumer, his or her risk preference should be stable in similar situations, but some researchers have found out that risk preferences are not stable in many cases. They claimed that risk preferences are diverse between men and women, or between youngsters and elders. And risk preferences are not stable according to the time either.

Abstract:

The research presented in this thesis considers the question of whether individual-level risk preferences are consistent or inconsistent across decision domains. For example, do people make the same decisions with respect to work, health and finance? Some previous authors have suggested that risk preferences are inconsistent, e. g. Kahneman and Tversky (1979), while others have put forward the idea that people have generalised tendencies to take or avoid risks, e. g. Sitkin and Pablo (1992). The work of Sitkin and Pablo was drawn upon to develop hypotheses concerning the conceptualisation and

Does the way people earn money affect their economic decisions? The main contribution of this thesis is to provide new evidence that the way people earn money affects their decision-making. Standard economic theory generally assumes that money is fungible – that is, each unit of money is a perfect substitute for another. Fungibility thus predicts that source of income should have no influence on individual decision-making. On the other hand, Prospect theory determines the value of same prospect as gain or loss relative to the reference point. Prospect theory predicts a significant source of in

There is a sizeable economic literature dedicated to understanding trust and the extent to which it influences decision making. Although trust is difficult to measure, experimental economics has commonly used the 'amount sent’ in the Berg, Dickhaut and McCabe (1995) investment game to elicit levels of trust from players of the game. However, there is a growing body of literature suggesting that factors such as risk preferences, altruism, and subjective beliefs may confound this measure of trust, thereby questioning the validity of using the 'amount sent’ to elicit people’s levels of trust.

Abstract:

Previous research has shown time and risk preferences to be important factors when explaining a variety of behavioural patterns, such as smoking, obesity and savings behaviour, while we focus on the effect on financial behaviour and financial well-being.

Guided by the health belief model (HBM) and the AIDS risk reduction model (ARRM), this quantitative, cross-sectional study sought to use multiple linear regression, binary logistic regression, and Fisher's exact test to determine how perceived susceptibility, as measured by th
