Expected utility representation on a finite measurable space
ID: expected-utility-representation-on-a-finite-measurable-space
Set . On a finite measurable space, points in the same atom of a sigma-algebra give the same Dirac measure, so is a measurable function and constant on atoms. Every probability measure is a finite mixture of representative Dirac measures with its atom masses as weights. Affineness then proves the expected-utility representation, even when the sigma-algebra is smaller than the power set.
