  Title Loss Aversion in Riskless Choice: A Reference-Dependent Model Type Journal Article
  Year 1991 Publication The Quarterly Journal of Economics Abbreviated Journal Loss Aversion in Riskless Choice  
  Volume 106 Issue 4 Pages 1039-1061  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Much experimental evidence indicates that choice depends on the status quo or reference level: changes of reference point often lead to reversals of preference. We present a reference-dependent theory of consumer choice, which explains such effects by a deformation of indifference curves about the reference point. The central assumption of the theory is that losses and disadvantages have greater impact on preferences than gains and advantages. Implications of loss aversion for economic behavior are considered.
