Risk has been described in the past by a simple measure such as the variance and risk
attitude is often considered simply a degree of risk aversion. However this viewpoint is
usually not sufficient. Risk Measures and Attitudes collects contributions which illustrate how
modern approaches to both risk measures and risk attitudes are inevitably intertwined. The
settings under which this is discussed include portfolio choice mitigating credit risk and
comparing risky alternatives. This book will be a useful study aid for students and researchers
of actuarial science or risk management as well as practitioners.
