no way this video just simplify my 2 hour lectures in a better explanation im gonna cry

Hi. I have a question. Let's say, John has 50 % probability to earn 20 000 and 50 % loosing 10 000. If utility function is 2W, then what is risk premium? If we have loses, we also calculate risk premium in the same way?

Awesome video! Nicely explained.

Why did you raise the power to square instead of 1/2?

[@rickr2885]

the power of 1/2 is the same thing as square root and he is wanting to cancel that out so thats why he squares both sides

[@bostonswift]

Thanks for that, it makes sense.

Two players have the opportunity to participate in a gamble with two possible outcomes as: Outcome 10 30 Probability 0.3 0.7 The player's utility functions for the money outcomes are as follows: Player 1: U₁(M) = √M +6 Player 2: U₂(M) = (M +5)^2 Determine the difference in the amounts that you must offer to these two players. Please solve this .

You'd have to pay player 1 $1.16 to take the gamble (their risk premium) because they are risk averse, but because player 2 is risk-seeking, they would pay $5.5 to make the gamble (a negative risk premium). Follow the same steps in this video to arrive at the solution (risk premium = expected value of gamble - certainty equivalent) Find certainty equivalent where expected utility from gamble = person's utility function (and isolate using algebra)
