Abstract

top
The asymptotics of utility from terminal wealth is studied. First, a finite horizon problem for any utility function is considered. To study a long run infinite horizon problem, a certain positive homogeneity (PH) assumption is imposed. It is then shown that assumption (PH) is practically satisfied only by power and logarithmic utility functions.
