An Axiomatization of Subjective Mean Variance Utility under Ambiguity
Classical mean variance utility of Markowitz [1952] and Tobin [1958] have relied on objective expected utility hypothesis. This paper presents a choice-based axiomatization of mean variance utility, in a Savage-type setting of ambiguity, which neither assumes nor implies that individual’s preferences over portfolios conform to the expected utility hypothesis.
متن کاملLinear Risk Tolerance and Mean-Variance Utility Functions
The concept of linear risk tolerance is transferred from the expected utility framework to the two-parameter, mean-variance approach. We show how the requirement of a hyperbolical Arrow-Pratt index translates from the EU-approach into a condition on the marginal rate of substitution between return and risk in the two-parameter approach. As a spin-off from this translation, we derive a specific ...
متن کاملUtility maximization under increasing risk aversion in one-period models
It has been shown at different levels of generality that under increasing risk aversion utility indifference sell prices of a contingent claim converge to the super-replication price and the shortfalls of utility maximizing hedging portfolios starting from the superreplication price tend to zero in L1. In this paper we give an example of a one-period financial model with bounded prices where ut...
متن کاملExpected Utility and Risk Aversion
This reading describes how people’s aversion to risk affects the decisions they make about investment. Basically, the concepts used to do this analysis emerge naturally when people have expected utility preferences, but not otherwise. So, it illustrates one important way that expected utility is applied. This analysis also makes it possible to illustrate how to do comparative statics. Comparati...
متن کاملSubjective 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 ...
