As most of us already know, risk management means making steps in order to identify those risks with a highly … probability of causing problems to a project, to analyze the probability of loss and the magnitude of loss for each risk and … developing composed risks, to classify the risk points identified according to the composed risks they belong to. All these …

Most textbook finance literature assumes risk to be the standard deviation of returns (volatility), which is not only … is consistent with investors’ actual perception of risk. Our method is presenting investors return distributions with … different risk characteristics for which they have to state their perceived risk and make investment decisions. Our results hint …

The paper examines in the laboratory how risk-taking situations are affected by the conditions of observing other …

We introduce and study the main properties of a class of convex risk measures that refine Expected Shortfall by … adjusted Expected Shortfalls quantify risk as the minimum amount of capital that has to be raised and injected into a financial … probability level p\in[0,1]. Through the choice of the benchmark risk profile g one can tailor the risk assessment to the specific …

labor-income risk can explain much of this risk-taking pattern. Uncontrollable labor-income risk stresses middle …, middle-income households reduce (controllable) financial risk. Richer households, having less pressure, can afford more risk …-taking. The poor take low risk because they avoid jeopardizing their subsistence consumption. …

take risk as measured by the general risk question. We demonstrate that this disposition, which we call risk conception, is … strongly associated with optimism, a stable facet of personality, and that it predicts real-life risk taking. The general risk … question captures this disposition alongside pure risk preference. This likely contributes to the predictive power of the …

Using a specially designed experiment, we investigate whether and how interdependence in risk exposure i.e., risk … taking by some members of a potential risk sharing group affecting not only their own but also their co-members risk exposure …, affects both risk taking and ex post sharing.
