The economics of environmental risk : information, perception and valuation

Smith, Vincent Kerry - 2022

"Featuring real world examples of how risk information affects public choices, The Economics of Environmental Risk expertly demonstrates that policy makers need to consider how people learn about those risks.

Please, marry me! : an experimental study of risking a joint venture

Güth, Werner; Ivanova-Stenzel, Radosveta; Tjotta, Sigve - 1999

Empirical studies in family economics usually rely on questionnaires, statistical or panel data. Here we try to study experimentally some crucial aspects of engaging in a marriage. First the female partner can end the relationship or suggest one of the two forms of joint venture. Whereas a full...

Local risk-minimization under transaction costs

Lamberton, Damien; Pham, Huyên; Schweizer, Martin - 1998

We propose a new approach to the pricing and hedging of contingent claims under transaction costs in a general incomplete market in discrete time. Under the assumptions of a bounded mean-variance tradeoff, substantial risk and a nondegeneracy condition on the conditional variances of asset...

Animal spirits, technology shocks and the business cycle

Weder, Mark - 1997

In this paper a two-sector growth model allowing indeterminacy to occur at relatively mild degrees of increasing returns is developed. It is shown that these economies of scale need only be present in one sector of the economy (investment). This feature of the model, therefore, builds on...

The costs of not knowing the radius

Rieder, Helmut; Kohl, Matthias; Ruckdeschel, Peter - 2001

We determine the increase of the maximum risk over the minimax risk in the case that the optimally robust estimator for the false radius is used. This is done by numerical solution of the implicit equations which determine optimal robustness, for location, scale, and linear regression models,...

Credit risk modeling and valuation : an introduction

Giesecke, Kay - 2002

Credit risk refers to the risk of incurring losses due to unexpected changes in the credit quality of a counterparty or issuer. In this paper we give an introduction to the modeling of credit risks and the valuation of credit-risky securities. We consider individual as well as correlated credit...

Convex measures of risk and trading constraints

Föllmer, Hans; Schied, Alexander - 2001

We introduce the notion of a convex measure of risk, an extension of the concept of a coherent risk measure defined in Artzner et aL (1999), and we prove a corresponding extension of the representation theorem in terms of probability measures on the underlying space of scenarios. As a case...

Coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and (my,p)-portfolio optimization

Jaschke, Stefan R.; Küchler, Uwe - 1999

This paper presents a general theory that works out the relation between coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and … theory presented seems to fill a gap between arbitrage valuation on the one hand and single agent utility maximization or … full-fledged equilibrium theory on the other hand. "Coherent" valuation bounds strike a balance in that the bounds can be …
