This book was released on 1993-10-31 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five years ago the world lost one of its most prolific insurance scholars, Dr. Robert I. Mehr. His death in 1988 signalled the passing of not only a gifted writer and researcher, but also a pioneering teacher, mentor, and friend. The essays compiled within this volume are intended as an appropriate tribute to this occasionally outrageous individual who touched the lives of so many within the insurance community. Bob Mehr was a teacher who expected and demanded nothing less than perfect scholarship and flawless, efficient writing. Among alumni of the University of lllinois insurance doctoral program, stories still abound of late night and early morning sessions in which students and professor painstakingly debated precise words and phrases for dissertations, journal articles, and textbooks. Bob's respect for language was both immense and contagious, if at times more than a little compulsive. He joked that he could not read letters or novels without pencil in hand for editing. Bob's respect for his doctoral students was equally evident. The confidence he displayed in his students' abilities was sometimes startling, but "competence assumed" often begot "competence in fact." The accomplishments and records amassed by the many who studied with Bob Mehr are impressive and ongoing. On the dedication page in his final textbook, Fundamentals of Insurance, Bob spoke of his affection for those he called his "academic progeny" and wished them happiness as they build their own academic families.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays deals with the situated management of risk in a wide variety of organizational settings - aviation, mental health, railway project management, energy, toy manufacture, financial services, chemicals regulation, and NGOs. Each chapter connects the analysis of risk studies with critical themes in organization studies more generally based on access to, and observations of, actors in the field. The emphasis in these contributions is upon the variety of ways in which organizational actors, in combination with a range of material technologies and artefacts, such as safety reporting systems, risk maps and key risk indicators, accomplish and make sense of the normal work of managing risk - riskwork. In contrast to a preoccupation with disasters and accidents after the event, the volume as whole is focused on the situationally specific character of routine risk management work. It emerges that this riskwork is highly varied, entangled with material artefacts which represent and construct risks and, importantly, is not confined to formal risk management departments or personnel. Each chapter suggest that the distributed nature of this riskwork lives uneasily with formalized risk management protocols and accountability requirements. In addition, riskwork as an organizational process makes contested issues of identity and values readily visible. These 'back stage/back office' encounters with risk are revealed as being as much emotional as they are rationally calculative. Overall, the collection combines constructivist sensibilities about risk objects with a micro-sociological orientation to the study of organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to understand the theories and applications of economic and finance risk has been clear to everyone since the financial crisis, and this collection of original essays proffers broad, high-level explanations of risk and uncertainty. The economics of risk and uncertainty is unlike most branches of economics in spanning from the individual decision-maker to the market (and indeed, social decisions), and ranging from purely theoretical analysis through individual experimentation, empirical analysis, and applied and policy decisions. It also has close and sometimes conflicting relationships with theoretical and applied statistics, and psychology. The aim of this volume is to provide an overview of diverse aspects of this field, ranging from classical and foundational work through current developments. Presents coherent summaries of risk and uncertainty that inform major areas in economics and finance Divides coverage between theoretical, empirical, and experimental findings Makes the economics of risk and uncertainty accessible to scholars in fields outside economics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first chapter, I develop a model of prospective memory, defined as the capacity to recall actions to be carried out in the future. An agent faces some task with stochastic cost ct, benefit b, and T periods until some exogenously imposed deadline. The agent can only execute the task at time t if the task is recalled in that period. The memory process exhibits the rehearsal property that the probability of recall is lower if the task was forgotten in the recent past. The agent sets a threshold cost each period based on her expectations of whether she will recall and carry out the task in future periods. If the task is recalled at time t, and the draw from the cost distribution is below this threshold, the task is executed. We then introduce memory overconfidence into the model, which we define as either overestimating the base likelihood of recall in future periods or underestimating the effect of temporary forgetting on subsequent recall. Memory overconfidence leads not only to inefficiently low rates of task completion, but also to the prediction that the probability of task completion may vary inversely with the length of time allocated to completing the task. We discuss the interaction of these effects with present-biased preferences, and provide examples of economic scenarios where this dynamic may be exploited by firms to the detriment of consumers. In the second chapter, I introduce a new copula which simultaneously allows fully-general correlation structures in the bulk of a multivariate distribution and an arbitrarily high degree of dependence in the left tails. This is ideally suited for modeling financial assets which may display moderate correlation in normal times, but which experience simultaneous left tail events, such as during a financial crisis. The new copula is shown to be fully flexible in the sense that the user can specify a desired structure for a sequence of increasingly dire events in the left tail, while still retaining the same correlation structure in the bulk. Finally, I illustrate the use of this copula with an application to hedge fund returns.
