Abstract

We re-examine the utility premium of Friedman-Savage [Friedman, Milton and Savage, Leonard J., "The Utility Analysis of Choices Involving Risk." Journal of Political Economy 56, 1948, pp. 279-304.]. This measure is useful in understanding risky choices. For instance its reaction to an increased wealth equates to a precautionary demand for saving. We also analyze its two components.
