Risk, uncertainty, and asset prices [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Financial Economics, 2005
We identify the relative importance of changes in the conditional variance of fundamentals (which we call 'uncertainty') and changes in risk aversion ('risk' for short) in the determination of the term structure, equity prices, and risk premiums ...

Risk and uncertainty in health investment [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Journal of Health Economics, 2010
Extending the Grossman (J Polit Econ 80:223-255, 1972) model of health capital into a stochastic one, we analyze how the presence of Knightian uncertainty about the efficacy of health care affects the optimal health investment behavior of individuals. Using Gilboa and Schmeidler's (J Math Econ 18:141-153, 1989) model of max/min expected utility (MMEU ...
