        In this study, relation between trading gain- loss and price logarithm as measure of utility examined by Prospect theory. With Ex post facto study in Field of behavioral finance and using of observational data of price and trading gain/loss, sample firms classified in two group and relationship between price logarithm and trading gain/loss is estimated. Results show that first, positive relation exists between trading gain and price logarithm, while this relation for trading loss is negative. Second, slope coefficient in loss side relative to gain side in terms of absolute value is larger that show investor have high sensitivity to loss relative to gain. In other words, investors are risk averse in gain side and loss averse in loss side. Thus, estimated models show that in accordance with Prospect Theory, when investors are in gain, they have risk aversion bias and when they are in loss, they have loss aversion bias. This result is not rejected by nonlinear estimation. Nonlinear results show slope coefficient decrease by increasing gain and loss.   Manuscript profile

For this mean,at the first, asset portfolio was constituted for Iranian households and by using of the GMM approach and utility function, Euler equations investigated for during the 1357-1393. The results of different models indicate that there is no reciprocal relation between of two parameters and Iranian households tend to stabilize and smooth consumption at different states and times. Based on the results, development of financial markets will be on the agenda of planners, so that small-scale households’ capital can be led through such markets to rebuild the country's infrastructure.

        Identification and analysis of farmers’ vulnerability associated with their risk aversion degree is one of the necessary requirements for planning and reducing impacts of drought in Iran. So, this study was investigated three risk vulnerability parameters (economic, social and technical) among wheat farmers categorized in accordance with their risk aversion degree in the Mashhad County (Iran) between drought years of 2009-2011. Vulnerability parameters were determined by Delphi technique. For measuring vulnerability and risk aversion degree, formula of Me-Bar and Valdes and method of Safety First Rule were applied respectively. Findings revealed that in social vulnerability indicators; education level, collaboratively farming activities and dependency on government and in technical vulnerability; irrigation method, cultivation method and type of cultivation; risk averse farmers have had the highest vulnerability level under drought conditions. While respecting economic vulnerability, risk neutral farmers (in insuring for crops, sale prices of crops and the type of land ownership), have had the highest vulnerability level.

         An investor Constant relative risk aversion. pursues two goals of expected utility increases and reduces expected portfolio liquidity expectations. In the current study, the Constant relative risk aversion. utility using actual portfolio fluctuations, real asymmetry, real elongation of graphs and non-liquidity The portfolios were measured using the non-liquidity rate. Therefore, it is possible to directly select the options of the investor in the two-dimensional expected utility / liquidity space. This research was analyzed by using high frequency data on a set of 40 shares of Tehran Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2017 using MATLAB software and time retrieval methods were used for daily synchronization of transactions. Considering the expected returns of the portfolio and the expected liquidity over the minimum variance and the same weighted portfolio, the power coverage of this model is examined. The results show that in the different risk-incompatible levels, the expected liquidity of the expected portfolio is highly competitive and seems appropriate in terms of usefulness, liquidity, and expected utility, relative to the benchmark.
