8 Goal Understand risk sharing among agents with ambiguity averse preferences
9 Setup and notation S states of the world (finite) (S) all probabilities on S two agents exchange economy, one shot ex ante trade f : S R + allocation of agent 1 g : S R + allocation of agent 2
10 Question 1: Full Insurance
11 Full Insurance Theorem agents have strictly risk averse EU the aggregate endowment is risk-free common beliefs = all PO allocations are risk-free
12
13
14
15 Question 2: Conditional Full Insurance
16 Conditional Full Insurance Theorem agents have strictly risk averse EU the aggregate endowment is G-measurable G-concordant beliefs = all PO allocations are G-measurable
17 Conditional Full Insurance Theorem agents have strictly risk averse EU the aggregate endowment is G-measurable G-concordant beliefs = all PO allocations are G-measurable p( G) = q( G) for all G G
18 Conditional Full Insurance Theorem agents have strictly risk averse EU the aggregate endowment is G-measurable G-concordant beliefs = all PO allocations are G-measurable p( G) = q( G) for all G G E p [f G] = E q [f G] for all f
19 Proof u (f (s 1 )) p(s 1 ) u (f (s 2 )) p(s 2 ) = v (g(s 1 )) q(s 1 ) v (g(s 2 )) q(s 2 )
20 Proof u (f (s 1 )) u (f (s 2 )) = v (g(s 1 )) v (g(s 2 ))
21 Proof u (f (s 1 )) u (f (s 2 )) = v (g(s 1 )) v (g(s 2 )) If f (s 1 ) > f (s 2 ) then g(s 1 ) > g(s 2 ), but that can t be since f (s 1 ) + g(s 1 ) = f (s 2 ) + g(s 2 )
22 Question 3: Comonotonicity
23 Question 3: Comonotonicity [f (s 1 ) f (s 2 )][g(s 1 ) g(s 2 )] 0
24 Comonotonicity Theorem agents have strictly risk averse EU common probability beliefs = all PO allocations are comonotone
25 Proof u (f (s 1 )) p(s 1 ) u (f (s 2 )) p(s 2 ) = v (g(s 1 )) p(s 1 ) v (g(s 2 )) p(s 2 )
26 Proof u (f (s 1 )) p(s 1 ) u (f (s 2 )) p(s 2 ) = v (g(s 1 )) p(s 1 ) v (g(s 2 )) p(s 2 ) Concordant not enough, because I need this to hold for any two states, so boils down to p = q
27 Proof u (f (s 1 )) u (f (s 2 )) = v (g(s 1 )) v (g(s 2 ))
28 Proof u (f (s 1 )) u (f (s 2 )) = v (g(s 1 )) v (g(s 2 )) If f (s 1 ) > f (s 2 ) then g(s 1 ) > g(s 2 )
29 Question: What is the analogue of these results for ambiguity averse?
30 Main Characters 1. Expected utility (EU) : U(f ) = E p u(f )
31 Main Characters 1. Expected utility (EU) : U(f ) = E p u(f ) 2. Maxmin expected utility (MEU): U(f ) = min p C E p u(f )
32 Main Characters 1. Expected utility (EU) : U(f ) = E p u(f ) 2. Maxmin expected utility (MEU): U(f ) = min p C E p u(f ) Constraint preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) R(p q) ɛ}
33 Main Characters 1. Expected utility (EU) : U(f ) = E p u(f ) 2. Maxmin expected utility (MEU): U(f ) = min p C E p u(f ) Constraint preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) R(p q) ɛ} Rank dependent EU: C q,γ = {p (S) p(a) γ(q(a))}
34 Main Characters 1. Expected utility (EU) : U(f ) = E p u(f ) 2. Maxmin expected utility (MEU): U(f ) = min p C E p u(f ) Constraint preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) R(p q) ɛ} Rank dependent EU: C q,γ = {p (S) p(a) γ(q(a))} 3. General : strictly convex, monotone, continuous
35 This gives us freedom to play with the risk-neutral probabilities without bending the utility too much

40 Full Insurance for Ambiguity averse What is the analogue of the common beliefs condition?

42 Beliefs
43 Beliefs p (S) is a subjective belief at f if E p (h) E p (f ) for all h f
44 Full Insurance agents have strictly convex preferences the aggregate endowment is risk-free shared beliefs = all PO allocations are risk-free
45
46 C
47 Conditions on Beliefs EU Full Insurance same beliefs shared beliefs
48 Conditions on Beliefs EU Full Insurance same beliefs shared beliefs Conditional Full Insurance concordant beliefs?
49 Conditional Full Insurance
50 Conditional Full Insurance
51 Conditional Full Insurance
52 Conditional Full Insurance
53 Conditional Full Insurance
54 Conditional Full Insurance
55 Conditional Full Insurance The problem is that MRS 12 depends on what is going on in state 3 (Sure thing principle violated)
56 Conditional Full Insurance p is a subjective belief at f if E p (h) E p (f ) for all h f
57 Conditional Full Insurance p is a subjective belief at f if E p (h) E p (f ) for all h f p is a G-conditional belief at f if p is concordant with some subjective belief at f
58 Conditional Full Insurance p is a subjective belief at f if E p (h) E p (f ) for all h f p is a G-conditional belief at f if p is concordant with some subjective belief at f p is a consistent G-conditional belief if p is a G-conditional belief at any G-measurable f
59 Conditional Full Insurance p is a subjective belief at f if E p (h) E p (f ) for all h f p is a G-conditional belief at f if p is concordant with some subjective belief at f p is a consistent G-conditional belief if p is a G-conditional belief at any G-measurable f Can show: p is a consistent G-conditional belief iff E p [h G] h for all h Or: p is a consistent G-conditional belief iff f f + ɛ for every ɛ with E p [ɛ G] = 0
60 When does this happen? MEU with concave utility and set of priors C q is a consistent G-conditional belief iff p q G C for every p C
61 When does this happen? MEU with concave utility and set of priors C q is a consistent G-conditional belief iff p q G C for every p C p q G = conditionals from q, marginals from p
62 When does this happen?
63 Examples Constraint preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) R(p q) ɛ}
64 Examples Constraint preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) R(p q) ɛ} Divergence preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) D(p q) ɛ}
65 Examples Constraint preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) R(p q) ɛ} Divergence preferences: C q,ɛ = {p (S) D(p q) ɛ} Rank dependent EU: C q,γ = {p (S) p(a) γ(q(a))}
66 Conditional Full Insurance Theorem agents have strictly convex preferences the aggregate endowment is G-measurable shared consistent G-conditional beliefs = all PO allocations are G-measurable
67 Conditional Full Insurance
68 Comonotonicity Theorem agents have strictly convex preferences the aggregate endowment is G-measurable shared consistent H-conditional beliefs for any H coarser than G = all PO allocations are comonotone
