    Abstract

  • Abstract

    Motivated by References[3,4], 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 Reference[3] and the operational measure of riskiness of Reference[4] 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.
