However, mny resuls re rue wihou suh drsil ssumpions. When is his LIS fir? he word fir hs mny inerpreions. We men fir wih respe o he greed IIR δ. In his inerpreion we know wh fir mens: suppose we del wih n LIS of ype -. As MU momen hs he vlue momen, hen if A is sill live ime fir would men h C ) = S ). If we dd he ineriude ou he lifeime of A, hen he prolem hnges i. Wh is h o lim he firness when deling wih rndom vriles? A lo hs een wrien ou h. One wy o nswer he quesion is o use he priniple of he expeed uiliy of Von Neumnn Morgensern see for insne [7] ). Bu if we ep h he insurer is risk neurl - mening h his esimion of risk X is is expeion h my hppen if he insurer hs mny insured people) hen we ould hink s follows. Any LIS involves wo rndom vriles: X nd Y. X is he ol sh moun pid y A o B ulized momen nd Y is he ol sh moun pid y A o B ulized he sme momen =. hen we hve Definiion.. An LIS is fir in expeion IE) iff EX = EY.
