Assume player 1 has a CRRA utility function and is risk averse, u(x), u'> 0, u" < 0 and player 2 is

risk neutral.
Figure 2 also shows that there are two modes when individuals bid on their own behalf: One is risk averse (r > 0), and the other is approximately
risk neutral (r [approximatley equal to] 0).
The
risk neutral probability is p = 0,4 for up movements and 1-p = 0,6 for down movements in each period.
Up and down movements &
risk neutral probabilities
We classified each participating partner as
risk neutral (0), risk averse (+1), or risk seeking (-1) based on responses to the certainty effect litigation settlement scenario.
As in reality, we will only observe movies made by
risk neutral producers (or producers with a sufficiently low risk aversion parameter).
