's theory works on the possible utility function space with its norm topology. Our approach combines order and metric structures …We reconsider the theory of Thompson aggregators proposed by Marinacci and Montrucchio (2010). We demonstrate the … Koopmans equation has a unique utility function solution given a Thompson aggregator. Uniqueness holds only on the interior of …
