Abstract
In this note we provide a closed form utility function for gains that is S-shaped around the origin and satisfies the Friedman-Savage hypothesis. We obtain the corresponding Arrow–Pratt measure of absolute risk aversion (ARA) as well as Arrow–Pratt measure of relative risk aversion (RRA) for it.
