Abstract: Abstract Fear of predators can behaviorally mediate prey population dynamics, particularly when predation risk influences reproductive investment. However, the costs of reproductive investment may mitigate predation risk aversion relative to periods when the link between… read more here.

Abstract: We jointly quantify the magnitude of risk aversion and transactions costs implied by asset pricing models with trading frictions. With constant relative risk aversion and symmetric transactions costs, estimated transactions costs on Treasury bills are… read more here.

Abstract: Jindapon and Neilson (2007) propose a comparative statics approach to nth-degree risk aversion. They consider a decision problem where an agent incurs either a monetary or a utility cost to reduce the nth-degree risk in… read more here.

Abstract: Evidence of risk aversion in laboratory settings over small stakes leads to a priori implausible levels of risk aversion over large stakes under certain assumptions. One core assumption in statements of this calibration puzzle is… read more here.
