理解期望效用假设Expected Utility Hypothesis

• Expected utility hypothesis

  From wikipedia, in economics, game theory, and decision theory, the expected utility hypothesis- concerning people’s preferences with regard to choices that have uncertain outcomes (gambles) - states that the subjective value(主观价值) associated with an individual’s gamble is the statistical expectation of that individual’s valuations of the outcomes of that gamble, where these valuations may differ from the dollar value of those outcomes.

  预期效用理论：在风险情况下，个人所作出的选择是追求某一数量的期望值的最大化。
