Measure of riskiness based on RDEU model
-
Abstract
Motivated by References3,4, we introduce a new measure of riskiness based on the rank-dependent expected utility (RDEU) model. The new measure of riskiness is a generalized class of risk measures which includes the economic index of riskiness of Reference3 and the operational measure of riskiness of Reference4 as special cases. We probe into the basic properties as a measure of riskiness such as monotonicity, positive homogeneity and subadditivity. We study its applications in comparative risk aversion as well. In addition, we present a simulation to illustrate the results.
