The positive and negative components of the game are determined by the following
expressions, with -m
i s

0s

V(y-) = ∑ hi- v(xi) and V(y+) = ∑ hi+ v(xi)
i
= -m                        i = 0

(2) where:

h- decision weights;

v- value function; and,
x- results.

The value function has the following characteristics: (i) defined on deviations starting
from the reference point; (ii) concave for gains (v ' ' (x) < 0, for x>0) and convex for
losses (v ' ' (x)>0, for x < 0); (iii) steeper for losses than for gains. The graphic
representation is as follows:
