Financial risk modeling | Expected utility
In finance, economics, and decision theory, hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) refers to a type of risk aversion that is particularly convenient to model mathematically and to obtain empirical predictions from. It refers specifically to a property of von Neumann–Morgenstern utility functions, which are typically functions of final wealth (or some related variable), and which describe a decision-maker's degree of satisfaction with the outcome for wealth. The final outcome for wealth is affected both by random variables and by decisions. Decision-makers are assumed to make their decisions (such as, for example, portfolio allocations) so as to maximize the expected value of the utility function. Notable special cases of HARA utility functions include the quadratic utility function, the exponential utility function, and the isoelastic utility function. (Wikipedia).
Evaluate the limit of an absolute value function by direct substitution
👉 Learn how to evaluate the limit of an absolute value function. The limit of a function as the input variable of the function tends to a number/value is the number/value which the function approaches at that time. The absolute value function is a function which only takes the positive val
