The 1980s and 1990s have been a period of major developments in the modelling of decision-making under risk and uncertainty. Extensions of the theory of expected utility and alternative theories of non-expected utility have been devised to explain many puzzles and paradoxes of individual and collective choice behaviour. This volume presents some recent work on the modelling of risk and uncertainty, with applications to problems in environmental policy, public health, economics and finance. Eighteen papers by economists, management scientists, and statisticians aims to shed new light on phenomena such as the Allais and St Petersburg paradoxes, the equity premium puzzle, the demand for insurance, the valuation of public health and safety, and environmental goods. This work should be of interest to economists, management scientists, risk and policy analysts, and others who study risky decision-making in economic and environmental contexts.
