Document Details : Title: Calculation of the Price Equilibria for Utility Functions of the HARA Class Author(s): LIENHARD, Markus Journal: ASTIN Bulletin Volume: 16 Issue: s Date: April 1986 Pages: 91-97 DOI: 10.2143/AST.16.3.2014995 Abstract : We explicitly calculate price equilibria for power and logarithmic utility functions which--together with the exponential utility functions--form the so-called HARA (Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion) class. A price equilibrium is economically admissible in the market which is a closed system. Furthermore it is on the one side individually optimal for each participant of the market (in the sense of maximal expected utility), on the other side it is a Pareto optimum and thus collectively optimal for the market as a whole. |
