Optimal allocations with α‐MaxMin utilities, Choquet expected utilities, and prospect theory
将最优风险分担分析扩展到α-最大最小效用、Choquet期望效用和累积前景理论,这些模型允许模糊寻求和风险寻求态度,并利用拟微分方法推导帕累托最优分配的一阶条件。
The analysis of optimal risk sharing has been thus far largely restricted to nonexpected utility models with concave utility functions, where concavity is an expression of ambiguity aversion and/or risk aversion. This paper extends the analysis to α ‐maxmin expected utility, Choquet expected utility, and cumulative prospect theory, which accommodate ambiguity seeking and risk seeking attitudes. We introduce a novel methodology of quasidifferential calculus of Demyanov and Rubinov (1986, 1992) and argue that it is particularly well suited for the analysis of these three classes of utility functions, which are neither concave nor differentiable. We provide characterizations of quasidifferentials of these utility functions, derive first‐order conditions for Pareto optimal allocations under uncertainty, and analyze implications of these conditions for risk sharing with and without aggregate risk.
