Description: |
Increasing risk aversion (IRRA) is a common assumption in economics, but this property often is difficult to verify. In this talk, we provide alternative characterizations of IRRA utility functions in terms of increasing absolute risk aversion (IARA) utility functions. We also present some closure properties (closure with respect scaling, shifting and raising to a power) of IRRA (DRRA) and IARA (DARA) utilities.
