  abstract      = {We generalize the classical concept of a certainty
                  equivalent to a model where an investor can trade on a
                  capital market with several future trading dates. We show
                  that if a riskless asset is traded and the investor has a
                  CARA utility then our generalized certainty equivalent can
                  be evaluated using the sum of discounted one-period
                  certainty equivalents. This is not true if the investor has
                  a HARA utility.}
