THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS finance theory (II): INCLUDING UNCERTAINTY AND RISK
Main Article Content
Abstract
To include models of financial decisions under uncertainty we need to
extend the basic theory incorporating adequate objects.
Utility Theory is a first approximation. The basic objects are lotteries that represent situations of choice under risk. A set of axioms for a theory of choice under risk is presented. The results of such a theory can be easily understood by their geometrical meanings.
The financial applications require a generalization of that theory and some additional assumptions. They are presented in both intuitive and semiformal
way.
A simple but powerful model is presented. It encompasses the main
features of more advanced ones
