Expectation and Optimal Allocations in Existential Contests of Finite, Heavy-Tail-Distributed Outcomes

Financial time series and other human-driven, non-natural processes are known to exhibit fat-tailed outcome distributions. That is, such processes demonstrate a greater tendency for extreme outcomes than the normal distribution or other natural distributional processes would predict. We examine the...
