A Note on Additive Risk Measures in Rank-Dependent Utility
نویسندگان
چکیده
This note proves that risk measures obtained by applying the equivalent utility principle in rank-dependent utility are additive if and only if the utility function is linear or exponential and the probability weighting (distortion) function is the identity.

Rank- and Sign-Dependent Linear Utility Models for Binary Gambles*
Binary SEU, prospect theory, and rank-dependent utility are generalized to event weights that depend on the event and on whether or not its consequence is preferred to the status quo and to the alternative consequence. The special cases are characterized, and the representation is axiomatized qualitatively. Assuming utility is additive over joint receipt of gambles, several topics are investiga...
متن کاملRisk Measurement with the Equivalent Utility Principles
Risk measures have been studied for several decades in the actuarial literature, where they appeared under the guise of premium calculation principles. Risk measures and properties that risk measures should satisfy have recently received considerable attention in the financial mathematics literature. Mathematically, a risk measure is a mapping from a class of random variables defined on some me...
متن کاملRanked Additive Utility Representations of Gambles: Old and New Axiomatizations
A number of classical as well as quite new utility representations for gains are explored with the aim of understanding the behavioral conditions that are necessary and sufficient for various subfamilies of successively stronger representations to hold. Among the utility representations are: ranked additive, weighted, rank-dependent (which includes cumulative prospect theory as a special case),...
متن کاملBinary Gambles of a Gain and a Loss: an Understudied Domain
Assume that binary rank-dependent expected utility (subjective expected utility is a special case) holds for gains and losses separately and that a commutative binary operation of joint receipt on consequences and gambles is linked to binary gambles via the rational property of segregation. This implies that utility U of joint receipt is either itself additive or is an exponential transformatio...
متن کاملConsumption-Based Asset Pricing with Recursive Utility
In this paper it has been attempted to investigate the capability of the consumption-based capital asset pricing model (CCAPM), using the general method of moment (GMM), with regard to the Epstien-zin recursive preferences model for Iran's capital market. Generally speaking, recursive utility permits disentangling of the two psychologically separate concepts of risk aversion and elasticity of i...
