MULTIPLE REFERENCE POINTSANDTHE DEMANDFOR PRINCIPAL‐PROTECTED LIFE ANNUITIES: An EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS

Abstract: We conducted an experiment in which participants were confronted with an experimental annuitization decision. Previous research has argued in favor of the hypothesis that a combination of mental accounting and prospect theory can explain why annuities containing a capital guarantee are preferred to standard annuities. However, from this perspective people would not annuitize their assets at all, but rather invest the money in a risk‐free alternative. Recent research has also suggested a “cushion effect.” When … Show more

“…Likewise for the AROE, the ARG analysis was performed by a simulation procedure for getting the empirical distribution of ARG values for each t, implemented on 10,000 ARG outputs for each value of t. Again in the case of an annuitant aged 65 and the participating quota of 20%, Table 3 shows the values calculated in 0, 5,10,15,20,25,30,35, 40 t = . We report the expected ARG values with the related minimum and maximum and the C-quantiles at 95% and 99%.…”

“…The current financial literature is paying increasing attention to the varied world of decision making under uncertainty from the insured's perspective. The many aspects of the question are treated by means of different approaches, which range from the expected utility theory to methodologies of behavioral finance as in [25].…”
