The objective of the paper is to analyze the risk management behavior of a non-industrial private forest owner under … uncertainty about the timber production. Two types of hedging strategies with harvesting decisions are studied: a financial … practice versus a physical one.

The United Nations Sendai (2015) framework aims to reduce disaster risk. We offer a careful definition and computation … of the individual and property risk targets. Selecting the largest and better studied class of “natural disasters” over … the period 1970-2018, we show that individual risk is “likely” falling, that property risk is neither rising nor falling …
