The paper focuses on forests management strategies for natural hazards of nonindustrial owners, in the case where the forest provides nontimber services. We introduce a basic two-period model where the private owner manages natural hazards on his forest thanks to the accumulation of savings on...

This paper investigates the impact of including the risk of fire in an optimal tree harvesting model at the stand level … different assumptions about hedging the risk of fire. The assumption that fire risk is fully diversifiable is contrasted with … the assumption that it can be hedged with another asset. It is conjectured that the risk-neutral probability of fire …

In this paper, we extend the static portfolio choice problem with a small background risk to the case of small … partially correlated background risks. We show that respecting the theories under which risk substitution appears, except for … the independence of background risk, it is perfectly rational for the individual to increase his optimal exposure to …

I investigate a dynamic life-cycle strategic asset allocation and consumption problem under model uncertainty, where both inflation rate and income growth rate are assumed to be estimated with errors. I present a feasible boundary for the uncertainty aversion parameter, which measures the...

This paper deals with risk measurement and portfolio optimization under risk constraints. Firstly we give an overview … of risk assessment from the viewpoint of risk theory, focusing on moment-based, distortion and spectral risk measures. We …-Gaussian features. We deal with the problem of portfolio optimization under risk constraints and lead a comparative analysis of …
