Abstract

An explicit formula is derived for the value of weak information in a discrete-time model that works for a wide range of utility functions, including the logarithmic utility and power utility. We assume a complete market with a finite number of assets and a finite number of possible outcomes. Explicit calculations are performed for a binomial model with two assets.
