The effect of risk, ambiguity and coordination on farmers' adaptation to climate change : a framed field experiment
Alpízar R., Francisco; Carlsson, Frederik; Naranjo, Maria - 2010
The risk of losses of income and productive means due to adverse weather associated to climate change can significantly differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk, under measurable and unmeasurable...

Accounting for different uncertainties : implications for climate investments?
Hector, Svenja - 2013
The paper clarifies the link between changes in risk aversion and the effect on the consumption discount rate. In a general framework that can cope with various forms of uncertainty, it is shown that the response of the consumption discount rate to a change in risk aversion depends on some...

Ellsberg re-revisited : an experiment disentangling model uncertainty and risk aversion
Berger, Loic; Bosetti, Valentina - 2016
The results of an experiment extending Ellsberg's setup demonstrate that attitudes towards ambiguity and compound uncertainty are closely related. However, this association is much stronger when the second layer of uncertainty is subjective than when it is objective. Provided that the compound...

Sharing of climate risks across world regions
Emmerling, Johannes - 2014
Uncertainty is prevalent in the context of climate change impacts. Moreover, the distribution across the globe is not uniform. We analyze how climate risks could be reduced via an insurance scheme at the global scale across regions and quantify the potential welfare gains from such a scheme....

The impact of ambiguity prudence on insurance and prevention
Berger, Loïc - 2015
Most decisions concerning (self-)insurance and self-protection have to be taken in situations in which a) the effort exerted precedes the moment uncertainty realises, and b) the probabilities of future states of the world are not perfectly known. By integrating these two characteristics in a...

Foundations of ambiguity models under symmetry : α-MEU and smooth ambiguity
Klibanoff, Peter; Mukerji, Sujoy; Seo, Kyoungwon; … - 2021 - This Version: January 13, 2021
The α-MEU model and the smooth ambiguity model are two popular models in decision making under ambiguity. However, the axiomatic foundations of these two models are not completely understood. We provide axiomatic foundations of these models in a symmetric setting with a product state space...
