Risk Seeking: Loss Aversion & Utility Function

  • Coin toss: lose $100…. Win ??
  • Paul Samuelson’s wager:

– Coin toss: win $200, lose $100 – Colleague’s response: “no” for one toss, “yes” for 100 x

  • Loss Aversion Factor ~ 2.5x
  • 1 toss Utility = 50%*1*200 + 50%*2.5*(-100) = -25
  • 2 toss Utility =

25%*win both+50%*split+25%*lose both = .25*400 + .5*100 + .25*2.5*(-200) = +25
