Abstract

This paper analyzes the effect of increases in risk aversion on a general consumer choice model with multiple sources of risk. Sufficient - and in the two commodity case, necessary - conditions for a given demand function to increase (or decrease) with increased risk aversion are derived. These general results are illustrated with a two period consumption-savings model.
