Resumen
Descripción
Stochastic dominance methods lately have been used to derive efficient strategies for given risk aversion intervals. A new decision approach, which makes use of the Gini coefficient, is shown to represent effectively the preferences of weakly risk averse individuals. The approach also has distinct advantages over stochastic dominance analysis. An application is provided of farmers' choices among alternative co-operative pooling rules.
