		| If its utility function is everywhere increasing and concave, rank-dependent expected utility shares a troubling property with expected utility   aversion to the same moderate-stakes risk at every wealth level implies an extreme aversion to large-stakes risks.  In fact, the problem may be even worse for rank-dependent expected utility, since the moderate-stakes risk need not be actuarially fair. |
