Das ist auch deshalb relevant, weil Menschen Verluste (z.B. von Bargeld) stärker gewichten als Gewinne und besonders darauf achten, Verluste zu vermeiden. Dieses Verhalten haben Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky bereits in den 70ern in der #ProspectTheory beschrieben: www.jstor.org/stable/1914185

Also "fast die Hälfte überlebt" ist definitiv besseres Marketing als "mehr als die Hälfte stirbt". #ProspectTheory

Brilliant mind. Kahneman's work laid the foundation for #behavioraleconomics, a field that studies how #psychological factors influence #economic decisions.

La domanda ora è se gli osservatori riconoscano il meccanismo quando appare più vicino a casa, prima che lo scambio sia già stato fatto.

räuberische Kreditgeber am Leben erhalten oder, in diesem Fall, eine Kriegswirtschaft versorgen. Die Frage ist nun, ob Beobachter den Mechanismus erkennen, wenn er näher kommt, bevor der Handel bereits abgeschlossen ist. #BehavioralFinance #ProspectTheory

A central insight of prospect theory is that people weight probabilities and are especially sensitive to probabilities near 0 and near 1. Rich Gonzalez shows how probability weighting can be modeled and empirically measured.

Higher-order risk preferences have gained relevance over the past two decades, helping us better understand behaviors such as prevention. This talk shows how these preferences can be studied within prospect theory and the novel predictions that emerge from this research.

How Prospect Theory Influences Investment Decisions and Risk Management
Fisher Investments Canada discusses the relevance of prospect theory, first explored by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky nearly 50 years ago, to modern investing. The theory explains human tendencies to weigh losses more heavily than equivalent gains, a concept known as myopic loss aversion. Through experimental scenarios, Kahneman and Tversky demonstrated that people often risk larger losses for a small chance to avoid a certain loss, while preferring guaranteed gains over potentially larger, uncertain gains. Fisher Investments Canada highlights how this behavioural bias can influence investment decisions, such as avoiding poorly performing sectors or making reactive shifts between stock categories. Using historical examples, including the 2022 downturn in global and technology stocks and the 2020 market response to COVID-19, the article illustrates how reactionary decisions may lock in losses or miss recovery opportunities. The firm recommends investors focus on long-term goals, examine whether their financial objectives have changed, and consider whether fundamental factors—not recent market performance—justify selling or buying. Recognizing and managing emotional impulses is crucial to mitigating unnecessary risk and supporting long-term investment outcomes.

lots of respect for the Stagnaro et al entry; the paper seems to focus on het effects in two experiments, finding different heterogeneity across providers for one (welfare/aidtothepoor) but similar homogeneity for the other (prospecttheory).
