Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a class of optimized certainty equivalent based on the variational preference, give its dual representation based on ϕ-divergence, and study its equivalent characterization of positive homogeneity and coherence. As applications, we investigate the properties of optimized certainty equivalent based on the rank-dependent utility (RDU) model. The dual representation of RDU-based shortfall risk measure proposed by Mao and Cai (2018) is also presented.
