U Segal - 2012 - ideas.repec.org
Preferences may arise from regret, ie, from comparisons with alternatives forgone by the
decision maker. We show that when the choice set consists of pairwise statistically
independent lotteries, transitive regret-based behavior is consistent with betweenness ...

Abstract A reasonable level of risk aversion with respect to small gambles leads to a high,

Abstract Since Becker (3), a common argument against asymmetric norms that promote
minority rights over those of the majority is that such policies reduce total welfare. While this
may be the case, we show that there are simple environments where aggregate sum of ...

Calibration Results for Non-Expected Utility Theories

U Segal - 2005 - en.scientificcommons.org
Abstract Rabin [23] proved that a low level of risk aversion with respect to small gambles
leads to a high level of risk aversion with respect to large gambles. Rabin's arguments
strongly depend on expected utility theory, but we show in this paper that similar ...

The Puzzling Uniformity of Lawyers' Contingent Fee Rates: An Assortative Matching Solution

[PDF] from huji.ac.il
E Zamir, B Medina… - 2012 - papers.ssrn.com
Abstract: Lawyers' Contingent Fee (CF) rates are rather uniform, often one-third of the
recovery. Arguably, this uniformity attests to collusion in the market, resulting in clients
paying supra-competitive fees. This paper challenges this common argument.
