Additionally, it can be inferred from the study that customer trust is higher in countries with high uncertainty avoidance. It is also believed that the uncertainty avoidance index (UAI) has a significant effect on consumers' acceptance of unfamiliar brands in the retail market.

According to modern portfolio theory (MPT), degrees of risk aversion are defined by the additional marginal return an investor needs to accept more risk. The required additional marginal return is

To begin with, the Index starts in a high Risk Aversion environment in early 2013, which has been slowly decreasing in the following years. In 2014, the Index fluctuated around 90, suggesting that Risk Aversion was mildly low, while it increased sharply on terrorism news in 2015. Risk Aversion at the Country Level. Working Paper 2014-005B by Néstor Gándelman and Rubén Hernández-Murillo . In this paper the authors estimate the coefficient of relative risk aversion for 75 countries using data on self-reports of personal well-being from the Gallup World Poll. Downloadable! This article estimates the coefficient of relative risk aversion for 75 countries using data on self-reports of personal well-being from the 2006 Gallup World Poll. The analysis suggests that the coefficient of relative risk aversion varies closely around 1, which corresponds to a logarithmic utility function. The authors conclude that their results support the use of the log The total index of risk aversion in the full sample analysis is quite stable across forecast horizons and attains a peak after the Lehman Brothers collapse. The full sample results show that France is the country contributing the least to systemic risk aversion, and it is also the country most vulnerable. Switzerland is the country least Second, as shown in Figure 5, we find large heterogeneity in risk preferences within countries. Individual risk attitudes spread widely between the two extremes of risk-averseand risk-taker personalities; however, most country distributions are skewed to the left, that is, towards risk aversion.

observed risk aversion across countries is a strong predictor for the share of Trust index: We take the information of trust in a society from the ASEP/JDS 

Citi Risk Aversion Indicator Index Methodology 5 Key Information Index: Citi Risk Aversion Indicator (the “Index”) Summary: The Index comprises six factors, each of which represents a particular market within the broad global financial system, such as the equity market, the emerging market debt market, the Total risk aversion connectedness represents the aggregate (degree of connection among the measures of) risk aversion in the European countries, whereas the indices of vulnerability and contribution to systemic risk aversion represent the total spillover in risk aversion from the system to a specific market (vulnerability), and the total spillover in risk aversion from a specific market to the system (contribution), respectively. A risk-averse individual has a low risk tolerance or a high risk aversion. These conservative investors are willing to accept little to no volatility in their investment portfolios. Often, retirees who have spent decades building a nest egg are unwilling to allow any type of risk to their principal. To begin with, the Index starts in a high Risk Aversion environment in early 2013, which has been slowly decreasing in the following years. In 2014, the Index fluctuated around 90, suggesting that Risk Aversion was mildly low, while it increased sharply on terrorism news in 2015.
