Financial Risk-Taking Under Health Risk
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023We study how background health risk affects financial risk-taking. We elicit financial risk-taking behavior of a representative sample of more than 5,000 Germans in five panel waves during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploiting variation in local infections across time and space, we find that an increase in infections affecting background health risk ...

The health risks associated with ozone depletion will principally be those due to increased ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation in the environment, i.e., increased damage to the eyes, the immune system, and the skin. Some new risks may also be introduced with the increased use of alternatives to the ozone-depleting substances (ODSs).

Pesticides are a category of chemicals formulated to kill or repel a pest or halt its reproduction. In this article we review the toxicological and epidemiological literature; describe common potential pesticide exposures; and focus on the associated health risks to fetal development.

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1993
In the United States the hazards posed by chemicals are often enormously exaggerated. In "calculating" risks of human cancer and establishing regulations, the United States Environmental Protection Agency makes a series of "conservative" assumptions that have no sound scientific basis. In consequence, trillions of dollars could be wasted. Exaggerations

Patient Education and Counseling, 1993
Some forms of human behaviour serve no obvious biological need and, in terms of the individual's health and well-being, appear to be positively self-destructive. Using the conceptual framework provided by reversal theory, this paper examines what has become known in the theory as 'paradoxical behaviour'.

Time is a key element of social life. Yet it has been relatively neglected in social theory and in the study of health and risk. In this chapter we show how interrogating understandings of time provides insights into how uncertainty and risk shape the ways in which organisations and individuals respond to illness.

AbstractOvereating is a relative term. It refers to the consumption of an energy intake that is inappropriately large for a given energy expenditure, thus, leading to obesity. There are several key environmental and cultural factors that have converged in the past few decades to markedly increase the risk of both active and passive (inadvertent ...

Quantification of Health Risks
2013Health, health determinants, and also the consequences of (ill) health: all these items imply considerable complexity. When trying to define and operationalize these concepts, especially in quantitative terms, difficulties emerge. Within the field of Public Health, correspondingly, both qualitative and quantitative approaches are established, and they ...
