This book is the first in the market to treat single- and multi-period risk measures (risk functionals) in a thorough, comprehensive manner. It combines the treatment of properties of the risk measures with the related aspects of decision making under risk.

The book introduces the theory of risk measures in a mathematically sound way. It contains properties, characterizations and representations of risk functionals for single-period and multi-period activities, and also shows the embedding of such functionals in decision models and the properties of these models.


Contents:

  • Modeling Uncertain Outcomes
  • Measuring Single-Period Risk
  • Measuring Multi-Period Risk
  • Single-Stage Decision Models
  • Multi-Stage Decision Models for Financial Management
  • Multi-Stage Decision Models for Electricity Management
