Optimal demand for contingent claims when agents have law invariant utilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a class of law invariant utilities which contains the Rank Dependent Expected Utility (RDU) and the cumulative prospect theory (CPT). We show that the computation of demand for a contingent claim when utilities are within that class, although not as simple as in the Expected Utility (EU) case, is still tractable. Specific attention is given to the RDU and to the CPT cases. Numerous examples are fully solved. JEL Classification: C0, D8.

Computing the demand of agents with a law invariant utility
We consider a class of concave law invariant utilities which contains the Rank Dependent Expected Utility (RDU). For this class, we show that computation of the demand for a contingent claim, although not as simple as in the Expected Utility (EU) case, is still tractable. Specific attention is given to the RDU case. Numerous examples are fully solved.
متن کاملVigilant Measures of Risk and the Demand for Contingent Claims
I examine a class of utility maximization problems with a not necessarily lawinvariant utility, and with a not necessarily law-invariant risk measure constraint. The objective function is an integral of some function U with respect to some probability measure P , and the constraint set contains some risk measure constraint which is not necessarily P -law-invariant. This introduces some heteroge...
متن کاملComonotone Pareto optimal allocations for law invariant robust utilities on L 1
We prove the existence of comonotone Pareto optimal allocations when decision makers have probabilistic sophisticated variational preferences and thus representing criteria in the class of law invariant robust utilities. In contrast to previous studies, we show that optimal allocations exist also when decision makers have very different preferences, for example characterized by different domain...
متن کاملPareto Optimal Allocations for Law Invariant Robust Utilities
In this paper we prove the existence of Pareto optimal allocations of integrable random endowments when decision makers have probabilistic sophisticated variational preferences. Variational preferences were introduced and axiomatically characterized by Maccheroni, Marinacci, and Rustichini (2006). This broad class of preferences allows to model ambiguity aversion and includes several subclasses...
متن کاملHedging Demands in Hedging Contingent Claims
Minimum-variance hedging of a contingent claim in discrete time is suboptimal when the contingent claim is hedged for multiple periods and the objective is to maximize the expected utility of cumulative hedging errors. This is because the hedging errors are not independent. The difference between a minimum-variance hedge and the optimal multiperiod hedge is called the hedging demand and depends...
