摘要:
The identification of uncertainty and risk
Herakles Polemarchakis, Larry Selden, and Xinxi Song
Individuals facing uncertainty behave differently than when they know the objective probability as showed by Ellsberg's paradox and other experimental evidence. One important ambiguity preference is the "smooth ambiguity model" developed by Klibanoff etal(2005), which can accommodate such behavior. In this paper, using the revealed preference method, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the observed individual portfolio choice to be consistent with smooth ambiguity preference. If the individual's choice passes these tests, we develop the sufficient conditions on underlying preference, belief and asset payoff matrix, under which individual smooth ambiguity preference can be uniquely identified from individual consumption and/or portfolio choice. One strength of our testing and recovery results is that they are applicable to incomplete financial markets.
