Thus, if h к n β with β , cn ` C(nh) 1

(nh1/2) (kI + 2eə - √1N1 - √2N2 + αC

then,

9.4 Formula of MGF and expected utility

It can be shown that the moment generating function for the double Gamma distribution is:

MR(t)=exp(tγ)[pMGF (t)+(1- p)MGF (-t)] =
exp(tγ)[p(1
- φ1t)-ζ1 +(1- p)(1 + φ2t)-ζ2

hence E(U(R)) where t = aδ and φi = 1∕λi is given by the following expression:

Egr|s [U (W (ret, a))] = -MR(-t) = - exp(-aδγ)[p(1 - φ1aδ)-ζ1 +(1- p)(1 + φ2aδ)-ζ2]

For the Gumbel distribution we have the following expression:

MR(t) = exp(αt)Γ(1 - βt)

Egr|s [U (W (ret, a))] = -MR(-aδ)=-exp(-αaδ)Γ(1 + βaδ)

For the Normal we have the well known result:

MR(t) = exp(tμ - 2t2σ2)

Egrls [U(W(et,a))] = -Mfi(-aδ) = exp(-aδμ + 1 a2δ2σ2).
