Expected Growth Criterion: An Axiomatization
Abstract
I provide necessary and sufficient conditions for an agent's preferences to be represented by a unique ergodic transformation. Put differently, if an agent seeks to maximize the time average growth of their wealth, what axioms must their preferences obey? By answering this, I provide economic theorists a clear view of where "Ergodicity Economics" deviates from established models.
