Two-Moments-Decision Models and Utility-Representable Preferences

Abstract

If a decision problem satisfies Meyer's location-scale condition, then any utility-representable preferences are also representable by a mean standard deviation utility function. The properties of this function are inferred from common assumptions concerning the individual's risk preferences, without relying on the expected utility model or any of its substitutes.
