Changing background risk and risk-taking: Evidence from the field
Kleemann, Linda; Riekhof, Marie-Catherine - 2018
Decisions involving risk are usually taken in the presence of other insurable or non-insurable risks, the latter type called background risk. We examine how changing background risk influences risk-taking based on panel data with monthly observations from Senegalese fishermen. Fishing income is...
