An understanding of risk and how to deal with it is an essential part of modern economics. Whether liability litigation for pharmaceutical firms or an individual's having insufficient wealth to retire, risk is something that can be recognized, quantified, analyzed, treatedand incorporated into our decisionmaking processes. This book represents a concise summary of basic multiperiod decisionmaking under risk. Its detailed coverage of a broad range of topics is ideally suited for use in advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses either as a selfcontained text, or the introductory chapters combined with a selection of later chapters can represent core reading in courses on macroeconomics, insurance, portfolio choice, or asset pricing.The authors start with the fundamentals of risk measurement and risk aversion. They then apply these concepts to insurance decisions and portfolio choice in a oneperiod model. After examining these decisions in their oneperiod setting, they devote most of the book to a multiperiod context, which adds the longterm perspective most risk management analyses require. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of the relevant literature and a set of problems.The book presents a thoroughly accessible introduction to risk, bridging the gap between the traditionally separate economics and finance literatures.
