  • Brumelle, Shelby L.

Abstract

Intuitively, a risk averter diversifies between two investments if there is some sort of negative interdependence. In [3], Samuelson gives the example of buying shares in a coal company and an ice company. It is of interest to characterize this concept of negative interdependence more sharply.
