Tolerable risk guidelines

ISA Transactions, 2001
Safety instrumented systems (SIS) should be designed to reduce the amount of risk in a process to a tolerable level. Expressing the tolerable level of risk is one of the most difficult tasks facing organizations trying to comply with the standards that govern SIS use.

Errors in Individual Risk Tolerance

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
This paper focuses on risk tolerance which clearly influences financial decision making. We explore the emotional side of a risk taking behaviour, comparing alternative measures of financial risk tolerance resulting from the consilience of various disciplines. We wonder whether we financially act as we are or as we are supposed to be.

Misclassifications in Financial Risk Tolerance

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
This paper analyses the empirical risk tolerance of individuals and the role of physiological measures of risk perception. By using a test that mimics the financial decision process in a laboratory setting (N = 445), we obtained an ex-post empirical measure of individual risk tolerance. Predictive classification models allow us to evaluate the accuracy

Using 68 quarters of data on 17 US and 17 euro-area banks, we find systematic reductions in steady-state management buffer targets and attendant rises in regulatory risk tolerance (RRT ...

Linear-Risk-Tolerant, Invariant Risk Preferences

2004
Quiggin and Chambers have introduced the notion of invariant preferences, and shown that the only invariant expected-utility functionals are those associated with a quadratic utility function. This note identifies the class of preferences which simultaneously satisfy invariance, two-fund portfolio separation, and linear risk tolerance to determine if ...

Governing Risk Tolerability

2014
Risk research has conceptualized ‘tolerable risk’ to describe activities considered worthwhile for the value added or the benefits they provide but sufficiently uncertain to require specific measures to diminish and limit their likely adverse consequences.
