Violations of Expected Utility Theory in Route-Choice Stated Preferences: Certainty Effect and Inflation of Small Probabilities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine whether violations of expected utility theory may be found in travelers' stated-preference behavior in a route-choice stated preference experiment, and they find that the Allais paradox (certainty effect) makes certain (low) travel time outcomes very attractive.

Mean-VaR portfolio optimization: A nonparametric approach
TL;DR: An efficient learning-guided hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MODE-GL) is proposed to solve mean-VaR portfolio optimization problems with real-world constraints such as cardinality, quantity, pre-assignment, round-lot and class constraints and outperforms two existing techniques for this important class of portfolio investment problems.

The valuation of risk assets and the selection of risky investments in stock portfolios and capital budgets

A Simplified Model for Portfolio Analysis
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence suggests that the relatively few parameters used by the model can lead to very nearly the same results obtained with much larger sets of relationships among securities, as well as the possibility of low-cost analysis.
