Book Relative Risk Aversion and Portfolio Choice

Download or read book Relative Risk Aversion and Portfolio Choice written by Pablo Muñoz Ceballos and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to show the expected utility theory over time and its evolution onto what is now known as the risk aversion theory. This paper also highlights the importance of the link between the relative risk aversion and the selection of an optimum investment portfolio (Relative Risk Aversion v/s Portfolio Choice).This document also encompasses the basic axioms or maxims applicable to the utility functions developed in microeconomics. It also includes topics such as making a choice under conditions of uncertainty and analysis of the existing expected utility models checking their consistency.Furthermore, in the same context, it carried out an analysis of the risk aversion theory developed by Pratt and Arrow by using the relative risk aversion as the main was of measuring risk. The consistency of the main existing models quoted in the current textbooks and related literature which links the risk tolerance with the portfolio choice is put to the test through a sample transacted at Santiago stock exchange.The paper goes on to suggest, on the basis of the theoretical development described in it, a new approach aimed atthe identification of optimum portfolios by means of the relative risk aversion approach.

Book Behavioral Portfolio Choice Under Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion

Download or read book Behavioral Portfolio Choice Under Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion written by Marcos Escobar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the optimal investment problem for a behavioral investor with probability distortion functions and an S-shaped utility function whose utility on gains satisfies the Inada condition at infinity, albeit not necessarily at zero, in a complete continuous-time financial market model. In particular, a piecewise utility function with hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) is applied. The considered behavioral framework, Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT), was originally introduced by Tversky and Kahneman (1992). The utility model allows for increasing, constant or decreasing relative risk aversion. The continuous-time portfolio selection problem under the S-shaped HARA utility function in combination with probability distortion functions on gains and losses is solved theoretically for the first time, the optimal terminal wealth and its replicating wealth process and investment strategy are stated. In addition, conditions on the utility and the probability distortion functions for well-posedness and closed-form solutions are provided. A specific probability distortion function family is presented which fulfills all those requirements. This generalizes the work by Jin and Zhou (2008). Finally, a numerical case study is carried out to illustrate the impact of the utility function and the probability distortion functions.

Book Economic and Financial Decisions under Risk

Download or read book Economic and Financial Decisions under Risk written by Louis Eeckhoudt and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of risk and how to deal with it is an essential part of modern economics. Whether liability litigation for pharmaceutical firms or an individual's having insufficient wealth to retire, risk is something that can be recognized, quantified, analyzed, treated--and incorporated into our decision-making processes. This book represents a concise summary of basic multiperiod decision-making under risk. Its detailed coverage of a broad range of topics is ideally suited for use in advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses either as a self-contained text, or the introductory chapters combined with a selection of later chapters can represent core reading in courses on macroeconomics, insurance, portfolio choice, or asset pricing. The authors start with the fundamentals of risk measurement and risk aversion. They then apply these concepts to insurance decisions and portfolio choice in a one-period model. After examining these decisions in their one-period setting, they devote most of the book to a multiperiod context, which adds the long-term perspective most risk management analyses require. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of the relevant literature and a set of problems. The book presents a thoroughly accessible introduction to risk, bridging the gap between the traditionally separate economics and finance literatures.

Book Does Relative Risk Aversion Vary with Wealth  Evidence from Households  Portfolio Choice Data

Download or read book Does Relative Risk Aversion Vary with Wealth Evidence from Households Portfolio Choice Data written by Xuan Liu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We test whether relative risk aversion varies with wealth using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics data in the U.S. Our analytical results indicate the following implications. For each household, there are two channels through which the risky share responds to wealth fluctuations, the income channel and the habit channel. For across households, there are heterogeneous responses through both the habit channel and the income channel. Finally, two potential misspecification problems on time-varying relative risk aversion arise when both heterogeneous responses through the habit channel and the responses through the income channel are ignored. Our main empirical findings are to show the importance of the income channel and the heterogeneous responses, and to provide strong evidence of relative risk aversion varying with wealth, after correcting two misspecification problems.

Book Asset Pricing and Portfolio Choice Theory

Download or read book Asset Pricing and Portfolio Choice Theory written by Kerry E. Back and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 2nd edition of Asset Pricing and Portfolio Choice Theory, Kerry E. Back offers a concise yet comprehensive introduction to and overview of asset pricing. Intended as a textbook for asset pricing theory courses at the Ph.D. or Masters in Quantitative Finance level with extensive exercises and a solutions manual available for professors, the book is also an essential reference for financial researchers and professionals, as it includes detailed proofs and calculations as section appendices. The first two parts of the book explain portfolio choice and asset pricing theory in single-period, discrete-time, and continuous-time models. For valuation, the focus throughout is on stochastic discount factors and their properties. A section on derivative securities covers the usual derivatives (options, forwards and futures, and term structure models) and also applications of perpetual options to corporate debt, real options, and optimal irreversible investment. A chapter on "explaining puzzles" and the last part of the book provide introductions to a number of additional current topics in asset pricing research, including rare disasters, long-run risks, external and internal habits, asymmetric and incomplete information, heterogeneous beliefs, and non-expected-utility preferences. Each chapter includes a "Notes and References" section providing additional pathways to the literature. Each chapter also includes extensive exercises.
