摘要:
The standard criterion used to compare streams of payoffs in the undiscounted case is lim inf(T --> infinity) 1/T Sigma(t = 1)(T) u(x(t)). In this paper we approach the problem axiomatically. This sheds light on the behavioral underpinnings of such a rule and leads to a novel choice criterion, the Polya Index. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: C72, C73, D90.
