Subsequently, applications to financial and insurance decisions are considered. Problems with and extensions of the theory are also discussed. Concepts: Risk, lotteries, preferences, (expected) utility, risk aversion, first order and second order stochastic dominance, mean preserving spread, certainty equivalence, risk premium, coefficients of absolute and relative risk aversion, insurance demand, portfolio choice, information structures, Bayesian updating, Methods: Basic Probability, calculus and optimization |
