In contrast to level risk, which is always welfare reducing for … a risk-averse household, volatility risk can increase or decrease welfare, depending on model parameters. When … calibrated to U.S. data, the model finds that the welfare cost of volatility risk is largely negligible under plausible model …

An accurate assessment of the risk of extreme environmental events is of great importance for populations, authorities … and the banking/insurance/reinsurance industry. Koch (2017) introduced a notion of spatial risk measure and a … corresponding set of axioms which are well suited to analyze the risk due to events having a spatial extent, precisely such as …
