摘要
The linear plus exponential utility function has received increasing attention of late as a particularly attractive family for evaluating additive gambles;for wealth. In,addition to its ability to reflect increasing appreciation for money, risk aversion, and decreasing risk. aversion, it is consistent with a risk-return representation in-which return is measured by expected value. In this paper we present a new condition, strong one-switch, that characterizes the Linear plus exponential family.
