Abstract

Utility functions on two-dimensional regions are demonstrated for decision makers’ risk averse behavior by weighted quasi-arithmetic means. For two utility functions on two-dimensional regions, a concept is introduced that decision making with one utility is more risk averse than decision making with the other utility. A necessary condition and sufficient conditions for the concept are demonstrated by their utility functions.
