Expected Qualitative Utility Maximization
A model for decision making that generalizes Expected Utility Maximization is presented. This model, Expected Qualitative Utility Maximization, encompasses the Maximin criterion. It relaxes both the Independence and the Continuity postulates. Its main ingredient is the definition of a qualitative order on nonstandard models of the real numbers and the consideration of nonstandard utilities. Exp...
متن کاملUtility Maximization Under Bounded Expected Loss
We consider the optimal selection of portfolios for utility maximizing investors under joint budget and shortfall risk constraints. The shortfall risk is measured in terms of the expected loss. Depending on the parameters of the risk constraint we show existence of an optimal solution and uniqueness of the corresponding Lagrange multipliers. Using Malliavin calculus we also provide the optimal ...
متن کاملForward-backward systems for expected utility maximization
In this paper we deal with the utility maximization problem with a general utility function. We derive a new approach in which we reduce the utility maximization problem with general utility to the study of a fully-coupled Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equation (FBSDE).

متن کاملLearning Probabilistic Models: An Expected Utility Maximization Approach
We consider the problem of learning a probabilistic model from the viewpoint of an expected utility maximizing decision maker/investor who would use the model to make decisions (bets), which result in well defined payoffs. In our new approach, we seek good out-of-sample model performance by considering a one-parameter family of Pareto optimal models, which we define in terms of consistency with...
متن کاملEnvironmental Catastrophes and Non-Expected Utility Maximization: An Experimental Evaluation
This paper produces evidence on preferences regarding uncertain outcomes that include the potential, with small probability, for a large loss to occur. We conduct a battery of experiments in which people confront a set of lotteries that involve potential losses that subjects are likely to regard as large. We use their choices to estimate a representation of preferences, which can be thought of ...
