演講摘要 : The literature has recognized that the bettors may dislike risk but prefer positive skewness. The paper proposes a method to measure the willingness-to-pay for a lottery ticket to provide the theoretical rationale for the previous empirical findings. On basis of predictions from willingness-to-pay, the paper further proposes an alternative model for empirical studies on the demand for lotto. We further employ the model to empirically examine whether higher moments than skewness play any role in gambling decision.
