Problem 3.(20 points) Recall the Allais paradox from lecture.
Question 1: ($1,1) or ($1,0.89;$5,0.10;$0,0.01)
Question 2: ($1,0.11;$0,0.89) or ($5,0.10;$0,0.90)
Most people prefer the first lottery in Question 1 but the second lottery in Question 2. Suppose someone chooses according to prospect theory with value function
v(x)={x0.1ifx02xifx0
where all units are in $billions. The probability weighing function they use is
(p)=p2(p2+1-p2)2
Show that even without any editing, this can explain the Allais paradox (set reference point to $0 in both questions).
