deeply, the notion of utility is seen at the heart. As an important concept
utility research has stayed popular so far. There are several research
examining utility from different perspectives.  </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:1cm;line-height:normal;"> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">One of the important topics that utility is
associated with is risk preferences. Utility perception deviates from what
economic theory predicts when it comes to make a choice among alternatives involving

concept of utility within the context of attitudes towards risk. It aims to
explain that utility consideration differentiates according to the parameters
of the situation rather than to the mathematical expected value calculation
referring to the St. Petersburg Paradox. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Mehmet Ali KARAMAN}
