Earthquake Hazard and Risk


Free Download Earthquake Hazard and Risk By Giuliana Alessio, Antonella Gorini, Giuseppe Vilardo, Giovanni Iannaccone (auth.), VladimĂ­r Schenk (eds.)
1996 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 9401065926 | PDF | 12 MB
Earthquake Hazard and Risk is a book summarizing selected papers presented at the 27th General Assembly of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior (Wellington, January 1994). The papers, rigorously scrutinized by an international board of referees, cover some recent aspects of current research in earthquake hazard and seismic risk. They address the algorithms and methodology used in seismological applications, the reliability of these techniques with the decreasing level of probability and uncertainty associated with various seismotectonic settings, the physical and statistical nature of earthquake occurrences, strong ground motions and effects of surface seismogeological conditions. A special effort has been made to include papers that illustrate the assessment of earthquake hazard and seismic risk through applications at sites in either inter-plate or intra-plate tectonic settings. Of particular interest is hazard assessment in regions of rare large earthquakes. The book is suitable for those interested in earthquake hazard and seismic risk research as well as a more general audience of seismologists, geophysicists and Earth scientists. It is also useful for authorities responsible for public safety and natural hazard mitigation plans and for insurance companies.

Rethinking Political Risk Concepts, Theories, Challenges


Free Download Cecilia Emma Sottilotta, "Rethinking Political Risk: Concepts, Theories, Challenges"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1138361372 | EPUB | pages: 150 | 0.9 mb
Political risk was first introduced as a component for assessing risk not directly linked to economic factors following the flow of capital from the US to Europe after the Second World War. However, the concept has rapidly gained relevance since, with both public and private institutions developing complex methodologies designed to evaluate political risk factors and keep pace with the internationalization of trade and investment. Continued global and regional economic and political instability means a plethora of different actors today conduct a diverse range of political risk analyses and assessments. Starting from the epistemological foundations of political risk, this books bridges the gap between theory and practice, exploring operationalization and measurement issues with the support of an empirical case study on the Arab uprisings, discussing the role of expert judgment in political forecasting, and highlighting the main challenges and opportunities political risk analysts face in the wake of the digital revolution.

Markets, Risk and Money Essays in Honor of Maurice Allais


Free Download Markets, Risk and Money: Essays in Honor of Maurice Allais By Bertrand R. Munier (auth.), Bertrand R. Munier (eds.)
1995 | 374 Pages | ISBN: 9401043345 | PDF | 14 MB
Most of the writings of Maurice Allais, 1988 Nobel Laureate in Economics have only been published in French. Thus to date, economists, management scientists and operations researchers have been severely restricted in gaining access to his work. Markets, Risk and Money presents, for the first time in English, Allais’ unconventional views on economic competition, the significance of free markets and overlapping generations, risk psychology, central banking, taxation systems, monetary dynamics and reform. The volume provides a consistent vision of our society and offers readers an evaluation of the impact of Allais’ work on our present body of knowledge. Markets, Risk and Money contains contributions from a number of distinguished European and American scholars including Bertrand Munier, Thierry Montbrial, J. Lesourne, Claude Ponsard, Edmond Malinvaud, AndrĂ© Babeau, Marcel Boiteux, Lola L. Lopes, Mark J. Machina, James B. Ramsey, Xavier Freixas, B. Roy and D. Bouyssou, Werner Leinfellner and Jean-Jacques Durand. A biographical sketch and complete bibliography of the author are also included.

Non-Expected Utility and Risk Management A Special Issue of the Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance Theory


Free Download Non-Expected Utility and Risk Management: A Special Issue of the Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance Theory By Christian Gollier (auth.), Christian Gollier, Mark Machina (eds.)
1995 | 150 Pages | ISBN: 9048157994 | PDF | 6 MB
Expected utility provides simple, testable properties of the optimum behavior that should be displayed by risk-averse individuals in risky decisions. Simultaneously, given the existence of paradoxes under the expected utility paradigm, expected utility can only be regarded as an approximation of actual behavior. A more realistic model is needed. This is particularly true when treating attitudes toward small probability events: the standard situation for insurable risks. Non-Expected Utility and Risk Management examines whether the existing results in insurance economics are robust to more general models of behavior under risk.
