We define a class of risk-taking-neutral (RTN) background risks. These background risks have the property that they … will not alter decisions made with respect to another risk, for individuals with HARA utility. If we wish to compare a … decision made with and without some exogenous background risk, it is often easier to compare the decision made to one made with …
