Master's Thesis Topic: Revisiting the Gain-Loss Separability Assumption in Prospect Theory A fundamental assumption of prospect theory is gain-loss separability (GLS)-the assertion that the overall utility of a prospect can be expressed as a function of the utilities of its positive and negative components. Violations of GLS may potentially limit the generalization of results from studies of single-domain prospects to mixed prospects and systematically distort the predictions of the theory. In this paper, I compare the extent and nature of GLS violations under the two elicitation methods using between-subject and within-subject analyses and discuss the psychological mechanisms underlying the findings and the implications for presenting information with gain and loss components.
Doctoral Thesis Topic: Improving the Elicitation of Subjective Probabilities for Joint and Conditional Events Decision models and risk analysis often heavily rely on proper elicitation of subjective probabilities such as in the estimation of prior distributions in Bayesian analysis
