摘要

M any results involving expected utility theory call upon the notions of absolute risk aversion, prudence, and/or temperance. This paper exploits a representation of the Friedman-Savage utility premium (Friedman, M., L. J. Savage. 1948. The utility analysis of choices involving risk. J. Political Econom. 56(4) 279-304) to give a general foundation for such coefficients and for their higher-order extensions.
