Subjective mean-variance preferences without expected utility
Classical derivations of mean variance preferences have all relied upon the expected utility hypothesis. Some widespread experimental studies have uncovered that the expected utility model tends to be systematically violated in practice. Such findings would lead people to doubt the empirical relevance of the literature and the practical effectiveness of the portfolio selection which employ the ...
متن کاملOn the Expected Payment of Mechanisms for Task Allocation∗
We study a generic task allocation problem called shortest paths: Let G be a directed graph in which the edges are owned by self interested agents. Each edge has an associated cost that is privately known to its owner. Let s and t be two distinguished nodes in G. Given a distribution on the edge costs, the goal is to design a mechanism (protocol) which acquires a cheap s-t path. We first prove ...
متن کاملA variance-expected compliance approach for topology optimization
Abstract In this paper we focus on the adaptation to topology optimization of a previous variance-expected compliance applied to truss design. The principal objective of such a model is to find robust structures for a given main load and its perturbations. In particular we are interested in avoiding high compliance values in cases of important perturbations. In the first part, we recall the var...
متن کاملComputing the Expected Value and Variance of Geometric Measures
Let P be a set of points in R, and let M be a function that maps any subset of P to a positive real number. We examine the problem of computing the exact mean and variance of M when a subset of points in P is selected according to a well-defined random distribution. We consider two distributions; in the first distribution (which we call the Bernoulli distribution), each point p ∈ P is included ...
متن کاملThe Test of Mean-Variance Approximations to Non-Expected Utility
This article tests the performance of the mean-variance approximations to non-expected utility functions. Previous studies justify mean-variance analysis only in the context of expected utility theory by demonstrating the excellent empirical performance of the mean-variance approximations to two of the commonly used utility functions in the study of expected utility: the power and exponential u...
