Rational Risk Policy
«A particularly interesting part of this book is the chapter on risk analysis and regulatory policy ... This book is an important contribution to the literature dealing with risk policy. The author clearly lays out the various failures that occur in individual risk assessment and risk decisions ... The observations in this book add greatly to the goal of achieving a rational risk policy.»
William Feldhaus, The Journal of Risk and Insurance
'Rational Risk Policy' provides a comprehensive and accessible synthesis of Viscusi's important and well-known work on risk policy. The new material developed in this book explores the various forms of irrationality exemplified in individual risk behaviour, and the role government policy has played in institutionalising these same kinds of biases.
