The epsilon-Gini-contamination multiple priors model admits a linear-mean-standard-deviation utility representation. (English) Zbl 1255.91254
Summary: We introduce the $$\epsilon$$-Gini-contamination multiple priors model in which the set of priors are those probability measures that are ‘close’ to a central $$P$$ with respect to the relative Gini concentration index. We show that such preferences can be represented by a linear-mean-standard-deviation utility function on a restricted domain.
