The assessment of large compounds of independent gambles
Article Abstract:
It is demonstrated that the assessment of large compounds of independent gambles may be driven by the means. It is also shown that restrictive risk preferences at large wealth levels may be presumed in max-expected-log policies in multiperiod portfolio choice problems with distant time horizons. The analysis can be applied to an alternative explanation to the risk neutrality assumption in banking and insurance.
