OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Lotteries' evaluation: an Optimal Transport approach
I apply optimal transport theory to choice under risk. In particular, I propose an alternative derivation of the certainty equivalent of monetary lotteries based on Kantorovich formulation of the optimal transport problem. This approach can potentially account for several empirical violations of EU, such as the fourfold pattern, loss aversion and the failure of the independence axiom.
