报告题目：Multiplicative background risk

摘要：We conduct the first incentivized laboratory experiment to test the effects of multiplicative background risk on risk-taking behavior. Unlike additive background risk, multiplicative background risk can decrease or increase risk taking. Using a within-subject design, we find that risk taking decreases for 34%, stays the same for 27%, and increases for 39% of the subjects. Increased risk taking is mainly driven by the negative skewness of the background risk. The resulting 9% increase in investment is significant across all empirical specifications.
