講者簡介：
Professor Chiu is currently Senior Lecturer of Economics at University of Manchester and also an Associate Editor of Management Science. Professor Chiu’s research interests focus on the Risk Theory and Risk Management. His research articles have been published in several prestigious journals, such as Management Science and Journal of Political Economy.
講題摘要：
Economic decision making under uncertainty often takes place in settings where choices about endogenous risks must be made while simultaneously facing one or more exogenous background risks that are not under the control of the decision maker and that can potentially be correlated with the endogenous risks. While considerable effort has been devoted to characterizing in the Expected Utility (EU) framework the conditions on the utility function under which changes in financial background risks that are independent of the endogenous risk have a definitive effect on risk aversion, existing results on how non-financial background risks (such as health) affect financial risk taking are limited in scope and generality. In particular, the prominent literature on multivariate stochastic dominance notwithstanding, little is known about the characteristics of the overall risk change induced by taking a financial risk in the presence of potentially correlated non-financial background risks. As a result, there has been no characterization of a decision maker''''''''s attitudes towards such risk changes that determine her optimal economic decisions.
In this lecture, we show that taking a zero-mean financial risk in the presence of a non-financial risk that is correlated with the financial risk in the sense of positive expectation dependence induces a bivariate stochastic deterioration, which we term “correlation-increasing marginal risk increase”. As well as identifying the necessary and sufficient condition on the distributions for such a stochastic deterioration, we show that it can always be decomposed into an increase in correlation and a marginal mean-preserving spread, and is disliked by all EU maximizers who are correlation-averse and marginal risk averse (i.e., with a utility function concave in wealth). We further characterize a measure of aversion to correlation-increasing marginal risk increase and the concept of decreasing aversion to correlation-increasing marginal risk increase and demonstrate their behavioral implications in the contexts of insurance purchasing and portfolio selection.
