Resumen de Orderly expectations
In some games, the products of the probabilities times the payouts result in a series that is conditionally convergent, which means that the sum can vary based on the order in which the products are summed. The purpose of this paper is to address the question: How should such games be valued? We first show that, contrary to widespread belief, summing in the order determined by the mechanism of the game does not lead to the correct value. We then consider other attempts to value such games. We suggest that games with conditionally convergent series are properly valued by summing the products in increasing order of the absolute values of the game�s payouts.
