Attitudes to Economic Risk-Taking

Journal Title: Revista Romana de Statistica - Year 2012, Vol 60, Issue 1

Abstract

The words ‘averse’, ‘seeking’, ‘tolerant’ or ‘neutral’ represent a chosen response to uncertainty that matters, driven by perception. This phrase forms a working definition of risk attitude, which is a choice made by a given individual or group in the face of a particular risky situation, and which is affected by a range of perceptual factors.
