000278524 520__ $$aConditions are developed for the theoretically sound use of discontinuous utility functions to represent behavior under risk. The dangers of spurious use of discontinuous utility in (1) empirical studies and (2) cases in which a riskless asset is available, are highlighted. Related problems in the agricultural economics literature are discussed.
