The nonlocal measures of risk-aversion in the economic process

Abstract

The article suggests risk-aversion measures to take into account the nonlocal effects in the description of consumer attitudes to risk. These measures depend on the utility changes on finite interval of values of income or of consumption, not only in the infinitely small neighbourhood of considered value. As a mathematical formalism, which allows us to describe nonlocal effects, authors used the theory of derivatives of arbitrary and non-integer orders. The standard risk-aversion measures are special cases of the proposed nonlocal measures.
