This paper introduces the concept of proper risk aversion to expected utility theory. A decision-maker displays proper risk aversion if, given two independent undesirable monetary lotteries and being required to take one of them he continues to find the other undesirable. This condition implies decreasing risk-aversion.

ABSTRACTIn order to supply additional empirical evidence of the effect of wealth on relative risk aversion, this study investigates households' demand for risky assets, using analysis of covariance techniques applied to the asset holdings of Canadian individual households. The extent and pattern of life‐cycle effects are also examined.

An individual's preference for risky alternatives is influenced by the strength of preference he feels for the consequences and his attitude toward risk taking. Conventional measures of risk attitude confound these two factors. In this paper we formally separate these factors and explore how this separation might significantly enhance our ...
