Expected Utility and the Michaud Efficient Frontier

Michaud, Richard O. - 2022

For most of the second half of the 20th century, modern neoclassical finance, and more generally much of social science, has been based on the von Neumann and Morgenstern (VM) (1944) game theory expected utility axioms as a prescription for rational decision making under uncertainty. Traditional...
