This paper proposes a new concept, a left-side relatively strong increase in risk(L-RSIR) order that extends the definition of a relatively strong increase in risk(RSIR) order. We show that for the class of linear payoffs, one can obtain an appealing comparative statics result for L-RSIR shifts by imposing additional restrictions on the risk preferences of a risk-averse decision maker.
Keywords: Left-side relatively strong increases in risk, Prudence, Relatively strong increases in risk |
