Risk-Averse Rent Seeking With Shared Rents
The Economic Journal, 1987This paper presents a Nash equilibrium model of rent-seeking behavior in which risk-averse players expend resources to obtain a share of a rent, as for example in contests for import quota licences. Results are obtained relating the equilibrium level of lobbying effort by each player to the value of the rent.

In previous section we represented agent’s perceived risk by a measure that reflects the dispersion of his revenue stream. Although the dispersion of possible outcomes has been widely used as the measure of risk (Pratt 1964; Rothschild and Stiglitz 1970; Stiglitz 1974; Levy 1992; Fukunaga and Huffman 2009; Lewis and Bajari 2014) it fails to capture ...

Risk seeking or risk averse? Phenomenology and perception
2021We question if risk phenomenology revealed by money expenditure corresponds to the subjective perception of risk. And if so, does that properly identify individual risk aversion propensity. We set two theoretical decision rules in terms of minimizing or maximizing risk, respectively, for every given return, and measure their adherence to efficient ...

Risk Seeking or Risk Aversion? Phenomenology and Perception
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016We relax assumptions on individual risk preference, and set two theoretical rules for portfolio choices: either minimize or maximize risk, for any return. Risk is modeled by four alternative formulas. We empirically test these rules by observing N=690 individuals (Caucasians, bank customers and financial professionals, aged 18-88), while making risky ...

A specially designed questionnaire collected data from 878 respondents in alcohol treatment and criminal justice facilities.

Risk communication for patients seeking IVF
Expert Review of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2007Treatment for infertility is like other healthcare during which patients consider using new technologies and make risk–benefit tradeoffs owing to possible adverse effects. Consumer-oriented educational materials have been developed regarding IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection to help patients to make these decisions.

PRISM: A Planned Risk Information Seeking Model
Health Communication, 2010Recent attention on health-related information seeking has focused primarily on information seeking within specific health and health risk contexts. This study attempts to shift some of that focus to individual-level variables that may impact health risk information seeking across contexts. To locate these variables, the researcher posits an integrated
