The theory of expected utility maximization (EUM) proposed by Bernoulli explains risk aversion as a consequence of … diminishing marginal utility of wealth. However, observed choices between risky lotteries are difficult to reconcile with EUM: for … sufficiently favorable large gambles) to be consistent with any utility-of-wealth function. We propose a unified explanation for …
