Portfolio choice with narrow framing and loss aversion: a simplified approach
研究具有S型效用函数和损失厌恶的心理账户投资者如何在窄框架下进行资产配置，发现其行为类似高信念投资者，导致时间序列动量投资策略。
This paper considers portfolio construction issues for a ‘mental accountant’, who exhibits an S-shaped utility function with loss aversion and narrowly-frames their asset allocation decision. We argue that the presence of narrow framing does not circumvent the existence of a budget constraint, and explicitly incorporate this into the investor's portfolio selection problem. The assumption of narrow framing allows us to derive relatively simple expressions for the mental accountant's optimal asset allocation decision. Our findings indicate that the mental accountant operates similarly to a high-conviction investor, leading to a time-series momentum approach to investment.
