Abstract

In this paper we model choice under risk by means of a new version of Regret Theory, called here Expanded Utility Theory. We analyze some classical problems in the insurance literature by means of this approach by considering two basic types of attitudes towards success/failure. We show that some predictions of our model are consistent with the empirical evidence. Este trabajo pretende, mediante el análisis de algunas modalidades de seguro y de otras formas de protección frente al riesgo, poner de manifiesto que la consideración de la actitud frente al éxito/fracaso, modelizada a través de la utilidad expandida, puede dar respuesta satisfactoria a algunas de las dificultades que se constatan en la aplicación de la teoría clásica. La mayor proporción de agentes temperamentales sobre tibios sugerida por el modelo, se vería confirmada por la evidencia empírica.
