Polynomial Utility [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
We approximate the utility function by polynomial series and solve the related dynamic portfolio optimization problems. We study the quality of the Taylor and Bernstein series approximation in response to the points and degrees of the expansions and generalize from earlier expansions applied to portfolio optimization.

Realization Utility [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
A number of authors have suggested that investors derive utility from realizing gains and losses on assets that they own. We present a model of this "realization utility," analyze its predictions, and show that it can shed light on a number of puzzling facts.

Utility theory is interested in people's preferences or values and with assumptions about a person's preferences that enable them to be represented in numerically useful ways. The first two sections of this paper say more about what utility is, why people are interested in it, and how it is interpreted and used in the management and behavioral ...

The Clinical Utility of Utility Assessment

Medical Decision Making, 1982
The usefulness of utility assessment as a method for revealing individual patients' desires is limited by two methodological problems. Different utility assessment methods can yield inconsistent results, both within a single clinical context and in different contexts; and the methods may not reflect universal rules that a patient may wish to abide by ...

Utility-Based Utility [PDF]

open access: possible, 2007
A major virtue of von Neumann-Morgenstern utilities, for example, in the theory of general financial equilibrium (GFE), is that they ensure time consistency: consumption-portfolio plans (for the future) are in fact executed (in the future) — assuming that there is perfect foresight about relevant endogenous variables. This paper proposes an alternative

Utility, induced utilities, and small worlds

Behavioral Science, 1965
Abstract : Decision theory in its present state of development fails to provide sufficient criteria for the unique formulation of a decision problem. The resulting ambiguity may lead to quite disparate interpretations of the same decision task by different individuals.
