We examine asset prices in a representative-agent model of general equilibrium. Assuming only that individuals are risk … averse, we determine conditions on the changes in asset risk that are both necessary and sufficient for the asset price to … incomplete in the sense of containing an uninsurable background risk, such as a risk on labor income.

For given attention devoted to … capital income risk, we solve for the optimal consumption-saving choices and show that the expected welfare is increasing with … capacity, assuming a relative risk aversion degree larger than unity.

We develop a financial-economic model for carbon pricing with an explicit representation of decision making under risk … specifications. We show that risk associated with high damages in the long term leads to stringent mitigation of carbon dioxide … emissions in the near term.
