THE ASYMPTOTIC VALIDITY OF QUADRATIC UTILITY<br />

E\W—1| 3 = o(t). The characteristic function of W— 1 is then given by<br />

£eiu(w-i) = j + iuE(W_ j) _ %uiE(W-1) 2 + o(0-<br />

Proof The characteristic function of (W— 1) = Z is defined as Ee'" z =<br />

£COS(MZ) + iEsin(uZ). Applying Taylor's theorem for cos(-) and sin(-),<br />

the characteristic function is also equal to<br />
