Abstract

This article tests the performance of the mean-variance approxi-mations to non-expected utility functions. Previous studies jus-tify mean-variance analysis only in the context of expected utilitytheory by demonstrating the excellent empirical performance ofthe mean-variance approximations to two of the commonly usedutility functions in the study of expected utility: the power andexponential utility functions. The question we ask is whether thesame performance holds in a non-expected utility framework. Wedemonstrate that the mean-variance approximations do not per-form wel for thes-shaped utility function of prospect theory.
