AnkeLeroux To people,multiple risks matter!
Unique definition of risk aversion • Good understanding of human behaviour when exposed to single risky prospect Single risk
Multi-attributive risk attitude defined in several ways (Dorfleitner and Krapp 2007) • Few studies of behaviour under multiple risks: correlation of risks matters • Marginality assumption violated in additively separable multi-attribute utility functions (von Winterfeldt 1980) • Correlation aversion over ‘money now’ versus ‘money later’(Andersen et al. 2011) • Correlation aversion over non-monetary risky outcomes (Gangadharan, Harrison, Leroux, Raschky, preliminary) Multiple risks
People are averse to risks being correlated above and beyond their attitude towards individual risk Experimental evidence
People are averse to risks being correlated above and beyond their attitude towards individual risk How may this help us understand vulnerability?
